Talisman Teal is a mid-tone vivid teal with a cool undertone. For modelling, drop to Pharaoh Guard in the recesses and step up to Aqua Alchemy on the edges, both The Army Painter paints. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; Green Stuff World Viridian Green is the nearest same-finish option at 90 percent, with 1 brand in strong-match range. A cross-brand swap will get you most of the way, but eyeball it against the original first.
Talisman Teal equivalents in other ranges
Several ranges orbit this color without landing on it. Here is the closest each brand manages, nearest first:
- Closest Green Stuff World equivalent: Green Stuff World Viridian Green, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 2.0).
- Best Scale75 option: Scale75 Caribbean Blue, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.4).
- From Citadel: Citadel Temple Guard Blue, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.4).
- AK Interactive's closest color: AK Interactive Mint Green, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 7.9).
- Nearest in the Humbrol catalog: Humbrol Green Mist, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 8.0).
Side by side the two agree in lightness and temperature; at delta E 2.0 the gap is smaller than the variation between two pots of the same paint.
