In the pot, German Fieldgrey Wwii reads as a warm brown, dark and muted. For modelling, drop to Flat Earth in the recesses and step up to English Uniform on the edges, both Vallejo paints. German Fieldgrey Wwii is a little less common: the closest same-finish match, AK Interactive Rlm 80, reaches 86 percent, and 2 other brands carry a strong same-finish alternative. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
German Fieldgrey Wwii equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Vallejo German Fieldgrey Wwii cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest AK Interactive equivalent: AK Interactive Rlm 80, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.9).
Best Revell option: Revell N.A.T.O. Olive/N.A.T.O.-Oliv (RAL 7013), a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.9).
From Humbrol: Humbrol Khaki Drab, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.1).
The Two Thin Coats pick: Two Thin Coats Eidolon Grey, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.4).
The honest caveat: AK Interactive Rlm 80 dries slightly cooler than German Fieldgrey Wwii, so expect recess shading and edge highlights to shift with it.
