Middle Stone equivalents, brand by brand
No brand clones Middle Stone outright, but 1 range comes close enough to swap. The best candidate from each catalog:
- Closest Green Stuff World equivalent: Green Stuff World Desert Camo, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.2).
- From AK Interactive: AK Interactive Ral 7028 Dunkelgelb Ausgabe 1944, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.8).
- The Army Painter's closest color: The Army Painter Burnt Turf, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.6).
- Nearest in the Revell catalog: Revell Beige (RAL 1019), workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.4).
- Best Citadel option: Citadel Hobgrot Hide, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.5).
- From Scale75: Scale75 Iroko, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.7).
The drift here is spread thinly across hue, lightness and saturation rather than leaning one way, so the mismatch reads as a general haze at delta E 2.2 rather than an obvious shift.
