Forest Sprite is genuinely hard to match: no other brand has a same-finish equivalent close enough to swap, and the nearest color anywhere, Citadel Mantis Warriors Green at 65 percent, is a different finish. In the pot, Forest Sprite reads as a cool green, light and moderate. It builds a smooth gradient with Orc Skin underneath and Ghoul Green on the highlights, all in the The Army Painter line. If you need this exact color, buy the pot, since no other line reproduces it in the same finish.
