Infantry Blue sits in the purple family: very dark in tone, muted in saturation, cool in cast. It builds a smooth gradient with Black underneath and Black Grey on the highlights, all in the Vallejo line. Substitutes are thin here, with Green Stuff World Bluegrey Dusk the closest same-finish option at 75 percent and no brand hitting the strong-match bar. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
