Elysian Green is a mid-tone moderate green with a cool undertone. Matching it is straightforward: P3 Paints Wurm Green lands at 85 percent in the same finish, and 3 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. For modelling, drop to Straken Green in the recesses and step up to Nurgling Green on the edges, both Citadel paints. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.

Closest P3 Paints equivalent: P3 Paints Wurm Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.0).
From AK Interactive: AK Interactive Light Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.0).
Green Stuff World's closest color: Green Stuff World Rotten Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 4.0).
Nearest in the Monument Pro Acryl catalog: Monument Pro Acryl Bright Yellow Green, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.2).
Check it on a spare model first, because P3 Paints Wurm Green sits clearly more saturated and warmer than the original and the difference grows over large flat panels.
