The digital color reference is a muted, very light white leaning neutral. Brigade Grey from The Army Painter scores 94 percent against the stored swatch and shares its broad paint-type group. For a possible shade and highlight, compare Radome Tan and Linen, both Humbrol paints selected from the digital catalog. A shared broad paint type does not guarantee the same sheen, opacity or thinner compatibility.
