Blue-Green sits in the teal family: mid-tone in tone, vivid in saturation, cool in cast. For modelling, drop to Aggressor Blue Fs 35109 in the recesses and step up to Blue Fs 35190 on the edges, both AK Interactive paints. Blue-Green is a little less common: the closest same-finish match, The Army Painter Pharaoh Guard, reaches 98 percent, and 1 other brand carries a strong same-finish alternative. A cross-brand swap will get you most of the way, but eyeball it against the original first.
Blue-Green equivalents in other ranges
This is one of the easy ones. A same finish twin exists, and one brand in the catalog land close enough to consider.
Closest The Army Painter equivalent: The Army Painter Pharaoh Guard, the same color for practical purposes (delta E 0.4).
- Best Vallejo option: Vallejo Light Emerald, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.7).
- From Citadel: Citadel Temple Guard Blue, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.5).
- The Two Thin Coats pick: Two Thin Coats Jade Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.7).
- Nearest in the Humbrol catalog: Humbrol Green Mist, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 6.2).
- Best Green Stuff World option: Green Stuff World Viridian Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 6.6).
Side by side the two agree in lightness and temperature; at delta E 0.4 the gap is smaller than the variation between two pots of the same paint.
