Wwi German Light Green equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches AK Interactive Wwi German Light Green cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Citadel equivalent: Citadel Nurgling Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.8).
Vallejo's closest color: Vallejo Green Sky, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.2).
Nearest in the Two Thin Coats catalog: Two Thin Coats Orc Hide, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.3).
Best The Army Painter option: The Army Painter Olive Drab, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.1).
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 2.8 rather than an obvious shift.
