Fenrisian Grey is a mid-tone moderate blue with a cool undertone. Within the Citadel range it ladders cleanly, Slaanesh Grey for the shadows and Celestra Grey for the highlights. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; Two Thin Coats Celestial Blue is the nearest same-finish option at 81 percent, with 2 brands in strong-match range. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
Fenrisian Grey equivalents in other ranges
Fenrisian Grey is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.
Closest Two Thin Coats equivalent: Two Thin Coats Celestial Blue, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.8).
From Humbrol: Humbrol Azure Blue, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 4.0).
Tamiya's closest color: Tamiya Royal Light Blue, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.1).
Nearest in the AK Interactive catalog: AK Interactive Amt-7 Light Blue, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.2).
Worth knowing before you swap: Two Thin Coats Celestial Blue runs slightly cooler and more saturated, which shows most where the paint thins over raised detail.
