no RAL code, but
there is www.militaerlacke.de, there exist several colours of the russsian army.
Russengrün C seidenmatt is very close to the origin.

the rgd sometimes differs in color, greenish or brownish...

Try this website with a good picture : https://ral-colours.co.uk/ral-color-picker-from-image/

I get a majority of RAL8000

I recently made a couple of replica RDG-5s (3d-printed bodies, real inert fuzes) and I used graffiti spray paint from these guys, more specifically "LOW2241 - SLIME": https://www.kobrapaint.com/en-prodotti-kobrapaint-spray-paint-400ml-low-colors-graffiti.asp

I think they came out pretty ok - I compared it to some actual soviet kit I had lying around (canteen, trench periscope, etc) and it's a bit lighter, but has the same green undertone as the soviet paint. Also, it looks much closer in real life than in the picture. Since RDG-5s come in a variety of shades, I think it's "within tolerances".
