Caribbean Ocean is a light vivid teal with a cool undertone. Within the The Army Painter range it ladders cleanly, Lizardfolk Cyan for the shadows and Plasmatic Bolt for the highlights. Substitutes are thin here, with Citadel Kroxigor Scales the closest same-finish option at 71 percent and no brand hitting the strong-match bar. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
