Ocean Blue equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches AK Interactive Ocean Blue cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Citadel equivalent: Citadel Nocturne Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.8).
From Monument Pro Acryl: Monument Pro Acryl Jade, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.0).
The P3 Paints pick: P3 Paints Coal Black, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.0).
Nearest in the Scale75 catalog: Scale75 Eryn Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.2).
Worth knowing before you swap: Citadel Nocturne Green runs slightly darker, which shows most where the paint thins over raised detail.
