Foul Green is a mid-tone vivid teal with a cool undertone. No shortage of substitutes here, Cold Green from AK Interactive matches at 91 percent and 4 brands carry a strong same-finish near-match.

Foul Green equivalents in other ranges
3 of the 8 brands with a mapped match get genuinely close to Vallejo Foul Green, though none is a clone. Brand by brand, the nearest colors are:
- Closest AK Interactive equivalent: AK Interactive Cold Green, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.8).
- Nearest in the Humbrol catalog: Humbrol Green, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.8).
- Best Monument Pro Acryl option: Monument Pro Acryl Bright Jade, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.4).
- From Scale75: Scale75 Ñañara Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.6).
- The Army Painter's closest color: The Army Painter Guardian Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.2).
- Nearest in the Revell catalog: Revell Patina green/Patinagrün (RAL 6000), a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.9).
Side by side the two agree in lightness and temperature; at delta E 1.8 the gap is smaller than the variation between two pots of the same paint.
