Can I use Gray instead of The Fang?

Only where an exact match doesn’t matter, such as a new unit or a highlight. Fair match (ΔE 11). Gray is a little lighter, more muted than The Fang.

Can I use The Fang instead of Gray?

The same difference applies the other way round: The Fang is a little darker, more saturated.

ΔE is the colour difference between our two swatch estimates: under about 6 is close, over about 15 is loose. Real paints also differ in finish, coverage and how they thin, so test before you commit.
