Color-wise this is a moderate, light green leaning cool. It builds a smooth gradient with Light Green underneath and Fluorescent Green on the highlights, all in the AK Interactive line. This color is somewhat distinctive: 2 brands offer a strong same-finish match, Vallejo Lime Green closest at 82 percent. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
Lime Green equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches AK Interactive Lime Green cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Lime Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.5).
Green Stuff World's closest color: Green Stuff World Rotten Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.9).
Nearest in the Scale75 catalog: Scale75 Sherwood Green, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.6).
Best Citadel option: Citadel Ogryn Camo, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.0).
Check it on a spare model first, because Vallejo Lime Green sits slightly more muted and cooler than the original and the difference grows over large flat panels.
