Kroxigor Scales is a mid-tone vivid teal with a cool undertone. For modelling, drop to Terradon Turquoise in the recesses and step up to Aethermatic Blue on the edges, both Citadel paints. This color is somewhat distinctive: 1 brand offers a strong same-finish match, The Army Painter Raging Sea closest at 100 percent. A cross-brand swap will get you most of the way, but eyeball it against the original first.
Kroxigor Scales equivalents in other ranges
This is one of the easy ones. A same finish twin exists, and 2 brands in the catalog land close enough to consider.
Closest The Army Painter equivalent: The Army Painter Raging Sea, the same color for practical purposes (delta E 0.0).
- Best Vallejo option: Vallejo Light Blue Green, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.6), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
- From Two Thin Coats: Two Thin Coats Cursed Blue, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 6.0), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
- AK Interactive's closest color: AK Interactive Blue Fs 35190, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 6.3), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
- Nearest in the Scale75 catalog: Scale75 Adriatic Blue, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 7.2), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
- Best Green Stuff World option: Green Stuff World Zima Blue, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 7.5), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
Side by side the two agree in lightness and temperature; at delta E 0.0 the gap is smaller than the variation between two pots of the same paint.
