This one is hard to match, with nothing in another brand landing close in the same finish, the nearest being Coal Black from P3 Paints at 93 percent in a different finish class. In the pot, Coelia Greenshade reads as a cool teal, very dark and moderate. It builds a smooth gradient with Biel-Tan Green underneath and Poxwalker on the highlights, all in the Citadel line. If you need this exact color, buy the pot, since no other line reproduces it in the same finish.
Coelia Greenshade equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Citadel Coelia Greenshade cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest P3 Paints equivalent: P3 Paints Coal Black, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.3), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
Monument Pro Acryl's closest color: Monument Pro Acryl Jade, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.8), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
Nearest in the AK Interactive catalog: AK Interactive Archaic Turquoise, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.3), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
Best Revell option: Revell Granite Grey/Granitgrau (RAL 7026), a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 4.0), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
We checked the Lab numbers for a hidden catch and there is none: lightness and temperature both line up, so this swap is as safe as they come.
