Color-wise this is a muted, mid-tone green leaning cool. Matching it is straightforward: Tamiya Cockpit Green lands at 87 percent in the same finish, and 3 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. It builds a smooth gradient with Negro underneath and Old Wood on the highlights, all in the Vallejo line. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
Pacific Green equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Vallejo Pacific Green cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Tamiya equivalent: Tamiya Cockpit Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.6).
Nearest in the The Army Painter catalog: The Army Painter Medieval Forest, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.0).
Best Revell option: Revell Medium Grey USAF/Mittelgrau, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.1).
From Monument Pro Acryl: Monument Pro Acryl Bright Green Blue, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.2).
The honest caveat: Tamiya Cockpit Green dries slightly warmer than Pacific Green, so expect recess shading and edge highlights to shift with it.
