Rodent Grey sits in the grey family: mid-tone in tone, muted in saturation, cool in cast. It builds a smooth gradient with Incubus Purple underneath and Bard Skin on the highlights, all in the Two Thin Coats line. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; AK Interactive Grey Green is the nearest same-finish option at 82 percent, with 2 brands in strong-match range. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
Rodent Grey equivalents in other ranges
Rodent Grey is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.
Closest AK Interactive equivalent: AK Interactive Grey Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.6).
From Citadel: Citadel Dawnstone, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.6).
Tamiya's closest color: Tamiya Ship Grey, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.2).
Nearest in the Scale75 catalog: Scale75 Field Grey, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.3).
Check it on a spare model first, because AK Interactive Grey Green sits slightly lighter than the original and the difference grows over large flat panels.
