As a paint, IJN D1 Deep Green Black requires specific handling that affects how any substitute performs. The colour sits in the near-black range.

Brand comparison

  • Closest equivalent : Black Green (70.980) (Vallejo Model Color) – ΔE 2.6

A paint substitute only becomes trustworthy once it survives the same primer, shade, and highlight sequence as the original recipe.

Looking at the surrounding palette matters because a near match can still push the finished model warmer, colder, or flatter than expected.

That combination of colour distance, finish, and recipe context is what makes a paint substitute reliable on an actual miniature.
