Color-wise this is a moderate, mid-tone green leaning cool. 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. It builds a smooth gradient with Straken Green underneath and Nurgling Green on the highlights, all in the Citadel line. Treat it as an easy swap, just confirm the finish type matches before you commit.
Elysian Green equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Citadel Elysian Green cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest P3 Paints equivalent: P3 Paints Wurm Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.0).
Nearest in the AK Interactive catalog: AK Interactive Light Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.0).
Best Green Stuff World option: Green Stuff World Rotten Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 4.0).
From Monument Pro Acryl: Monument Pro Acryl Bright Yellow Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (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.
