Color-wise this is a moderate, light teal leaning cool. Shade down into Fenrisian Grey, the nearest darker paint in the Citadel line. This color is somewhat distinctive: 1 brand offers a strong same-finish match, Scale75 Lazy Blue closest at 80 percent. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
Baharroth Blue equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Citadel Baharroth Blue cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Scale75 equivalent: Scale75 Lazy Blue, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.0).
Nearest in the Two Thin Coats catalog: Two Thin Coats Ray Gun Glow, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.2).
Best AK Interactive option: AK Interactive Deep Sky Blue, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.1).
From Green Stuff World: Green Stuff World Arctic Blue, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 6.3).
Worth knowing before you swap: Scale75 Lazy Blue runs clearly cooler and more saturated, which shows most where the paint thins over raised detail.
