Camouflage Olive Green equivalents in other ranges
Several ranges orbit this color without landing on it. Here is the closest each brand manages, nearest first:
- Closest AK Interactive equivalent: AK Interactive Modern Spanish Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.2).
- From Revell: Revell Yellow Olive/Gelb Olive, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.8).
- The P3 Paints pick: P3 Paints Bastion Grey, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.0).
- Nearest in the Citadel catalog: Citadel Death Korps Drab, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.4).
- Best Green Stuff World option: Green Stuff World Ranger Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.2).
- From Humbrol: Humbrol Matt Olive Drab, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 6.2).
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 2.2 rather than an obvious shift.
