London Grey is a mid-tone muted grey with a neutral cast. For modelling, drop to Stonewall Grey in the recesses and step up to Pacific Green on the edges, both Vallejo paints. London Grey is a little less common: the closest same-finish match, Citadel Stormvermin Fur, reaches 82 percent, and 2 other brands carry a strong same-finish alternative. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
London Grey equivalents in other ranges
London Grey is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.
Closest Citadel equivalent: Citadel Stormvermin Fur, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.5).
The Two Thin Coats pick: Two Thin Coats Incubus Purple, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.7).
Nearest in the Scale75 catalog: Scale75 Rainy Grey, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.2).
Best AK Interactive option: AK Interactive Have Glass Grey Fs 36170, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.8).
The honest caveat: Citadel Stormvermin Fur dries slightly warmer than London Grey, so expect recess shading and edge highlights to shift with it.
