Doom Death Black equivalents in other ranges

Closest Tamiya equivalent: Tamiya German Grey, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.6).
Best Vallejo option: Vallejo Grey Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.9).
From Citadel: Citadel Skavenblight Dinge, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.6).
Green Stuff World's closest color: Green Stuff World Ranger Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.6).
The drift here is spread thinly across hue, lightness and saturation rather than leaning one way, so the mismatch reads as a general haze at delta E 2.6 rather than an obvious shift.
