Matching it is straightforward: Revell Greyish Green/Schilfgrün (RAL 6013) lands at 96 percent in the same finish, and 3 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. In the pot, Light Mud reads as a warm brown, mid-tone and muted. For modelling, drop to Green Brown in the recesses and step up to Mustard Brown on the edges, both Vallejo paints. Treat it as an easy swap, just confirm the finish type matches before you commit.
