WHITE GREY equivalent and alternative: brand comparison

As a paint, WHITE GREY requires specific handling that affects how any substitute performs. The colour sits in the neutral grey range.

Brand comparison

  • Closest equivalent : SC-02 Scalecolor White (Scale75) – ΔE 1.8
  • Closest Vallejo option : Dead White (72.001) (Vallejo Game Color) – ΔE 3.5
  • Closest Army Painter option : no close Army Painter equivalent

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.
