Nurgling Green equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Citadel Nurgling Green cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest AK Interactive equivalent: AK Interactive Wwi German Light Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.8).
Nearest in the Two Thin Coats catalog: Two Thin Coats Orc Hide, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.0).
Best Vallejo option: Vallejo Green Sky, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.5).
From The Army Painter: The Army Painter Olive Drab, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.3).
The drift here is spread thinly across hue, lightness and saturation rather than leaning one way, so the mismatch reads as a general haze at delta E 2.8 rather than an obvious shift.
