Ulthuan Grey is a very light moderate teal with a cool undertone. Within the Citadel range it ladders cleanly, Wraithbone for the shadows and Corax White for the highlights. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; AK Interactive Snow Blue is the nearest same-finish option at 87 percent, with 2 brands in strong-match range. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
Ulthuan Grey equivalents in other ranges
Ulthuan Grey is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.
Closest AK Interactive equivalent: AK Interactive Snow Blue, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.5).
Best Humbrol option: Humbrol Duck Egg Blue, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.5).
From The Army Painter: The Army Painter Marine Mist, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.6).
The Two Thin Coats pick: Two Thin Coats Ion Blue, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.9).
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 2.5 rather than an obvious shift.
