In the pot, Loren Forest reads as a cool green, mid-tone and moderate. No shortage of substitutes here, US Light Green from Humbrol matches at 83 percent and 3 brands carry a strong same-finish near-match. Within the Citadel range it ladders cleanly, Deathworld Forest for the shadows and Warboss Green for the highlights. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
Loren Forest equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Citadel Loren Forest cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Humbrol equivalent: Humbrol US Light Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.4).
From AK Interactive: AK Interactive Intermediate Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.6).
Green Stuff World's closest color: Green Stuff World Warcry Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.8).
Nearest in the Scale75 catalog: Scale75 Druid Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.2).
The honest caveat: Humbrol US Light Green dries slightly more muted than Loren Forest, so expect recess shading and edge highlights to shift with it.
