Charming Chartreuse
Contrast · #D6DC33
Charming Chartreuse is genuinely hard to match: no other brand has a same-finish equivalent close enough to swap, and the nearest color anywhere, Vallejo Yellow Wash at 71 percent, is a different finish. Charming Chartreuse is a very light vivid yellow with a warm undertone. It builds a smooth gradient with Ghillie Dew underneath and Maize Yellow on the highlights, all in the The Army Painter line. For a true match, stick with the original; cross-brand substitutes will read as a different color.
