Color-wise this is a moderate, dark green leaning cool. Within the Citadel range it ladders cleanly, Vulkan Green for the shadows and Deathworld Forest for the highlights. Castellan Green is a bit distinctive: no other brand carries a strong same-finish match, though Green Stuff World Field Green-Grey comes nearest at 76 percent. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
