Space Wolves Grey sits in the blue family: light in tone, moderate in saturation, cool in cast. It builds a smooth gradient with Basilicanum Grey underneath and Magos Purple on the highlights, all in the Citadel line. Substitutes are thin here, with The Army Painter Pastel Indigo the closest same-finish option at 71 percent and no brand hitting the strong-match bar. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
