Matching it is straightforward: AK Interactive Wwi German Dark Green lands at 87 percent in the same finish, and 3 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. In the pot, Flat Green reads as a cool green, dark and muted. For modelling, drop to Olive Grey in the recesses and step up to German Uniform on the edges, both Vallejo paints. Treat it as an easy swap, just confirm the finish type matches before you commit.
Flat Green equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Vallejo Flat Green cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest AK Interactive equivalent: AK Interactive Wwi German Dark Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.6).
Nearest in the Tamiya catalog: Tamiya Dark Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.5).
Best Humbrol option: Humbrol Russian Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.8).
From Revell: Revell Dark Green (RAL 6020), workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.8).
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.
