Snow Blue equivalents in other ranges

Closest Citadel equivalent: Citadel Ulthuan Grey, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.5).
Nearest in the Two Thin Coats catalog: Two Thin Coats Ion Blue, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.7).
Best Humbrol option: Humbrol Duck Egg Blue, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.9).
From The Army Painter: The Army Painter Marine Mist, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.9).
The drift here is spread thinly across hue, lightness and saturation rather than leaning one way, so the mismatch reads as a general haze at delta E 2.5 rather than an obvious shift.
