Grey Green equivalents, brand by brand
Several ranges orbit this color without landing on it. Here is the closest each brand manages, nearest first:
- Closest Tamiya equivalent: Tamiya Dark Grey 2, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.3).
- Nearest in the Two Thin Coats catalog: Two Thin Coats Death Reaper, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.3).
- Best Citadel option: Citadel Skavenblight Dinge, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.7).
- From AK Interactive: AK Interactive Rlm 72, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.0).
- Humbrol's closest color: Humbrol Dark Grey, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.4).
- Nearest in the Green Stuff World catalog: Green Stuff World Ranger Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.5).
We checked the Lab numbers for a hidden catch and there is none: lightness and temperature both line up, so this swap is as safe as they come.
