Color-wise this is a vivid, mid-tone green leaning cool. It builds a smooth gradient with Loren Forest underneath and Elysian Green on the highlights, all in the Citadel line. Straken Green is a little less common: the closest same-finish match, AK Interactive Grass Green, reaches 88 percent, and 2 other brands carry a strong same-finish alternative. Expect a close but not identical result from a swap, so check it on the model before committing a whole unit.

Worth knowing before you swap: AK Interactive Grass Green runs slightly more muted and cooler, which shows most where the paint thins over raised detail.
