Hexwraith Flame is genuinely hard to match: no other brand has a same-finish equivalent close enough to swap, and the nearest color anywhere, Humbrol Clear Green at 74 percent, is a different finish. In the pot, Hexwraith Flame reads as a cool green, mid-tone and vivid. It builds a smooth gradient with Warp Lightning underneath and Karandras Green 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.
