Eidolon Purple Clear is a mid-tone moderate purple with a cool undertone. It builds a smooth gradient with Altdorf Guard Blue underneath and Genestealer Purple on the highlights, all in the Citadel line. Substitutes are thin here, with The Army Painter Hexed Violet the closest same-finish option at 70 percent and no brand hitting the strong-match bar. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
