In the pot, Night Blue reads as a cool blue, very dark and moderate. For modelling, drop to Black in the recesses and step up to Charcoal on the edges, both Vallejo paints. Night Blue is a little less common: the closest same-finish match, AK Interactive Dark Prussian Blue, reaches 95 percent, and 2 other brands carry a strong same-finish alternative. Expect a close but not identical result from a swap, so check it on the model before committing a whole unit.
Night Blue equivalents, brand by brand
No brand clones Night Blue outright, but 2 ranges come close enough to swap. The best candidate from each catalog:
- Closest AK Interactive equivalent: AK Interactive Dark Prussian Blue, the same color for practical purposes (delta E 1.0).
- Nearest in the Monument Pro Acryl catalog: Monument Pro Acryl Dark Blue, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.4).
- Best Scale75 option: Scale75 Eclipse Grey, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.5).
- From Revell: Revell Black/Schwarz (RAL 9005), workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.9).
- Citadel's closest color: Citadel Corvus Black, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 6.6).
- Nearest in the P3 Paints catalog: P3 Paints Thamar Black, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 7.3).
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.
