I’m sorry to say that I am not familiar with the “IF” paint designations that you mentioned and I couldn’t find any information on them. I can tell you that the Munsell designation is for a fairly dark color. A middle gray has Value 5 and black has Value 0. The desired color at Value 3.29 would look fairly dark, but not black. It is also low in Chroma. A Chroma of 1.5 is very nearly gray. So you are looking for a green that is fairly dark and close to gray. That might be enough to help you decide which of your two candidates is closer.
