Camouflage Middle Brown equivalents and near misses

Best P3 Paints option: P3 Paints Mud Rut, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.9).
From Revell: Revell N.A.T.O. Olive/N.A.T.O.-Oliv (RAL 7013), a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 6.1).
The Army Painter's closest color: The Army Painter Bootstrap Brown, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 6.4).
Worth knowing before you swap: AK Interactive Camouflage Green runs slightly cooler and more muted, which shows most where the paint thins over raised detail.
