This one is hard to match, with nothing in another brand landing close in the same finish, the nearest being Hexwraith Flame from Citadel at 59 percent in a different finish class. Shamrock Green is a light vivid green with a cool undertone. For modelling, drop to Forest Sprite in the recesses and step up to Ghillie Dew 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.
