Plasmatic Bolt is genuinely hard to match: no other brand has a same-finish equivalent close enough to swap, and the nearest color anywhere, Green Stuff World Tropical Turquoise at 86 percent, is a different finish. Plasmatic Bolt is a light moderate teal with a cool undertone. For modelling, drop to Caribbean Ocean in the recesses and step up to Pastel Seafoam on the edges, both The Army Painter paints. For a true match, stick with the original; cross-brand substitutes will read as a different color.
