Clear Green equivalents across other brands
The short answer: yes, Clear Green has a true equivalent. If the pot runs dry mid project, here is the closest color each brand offers.
Closest Tamiya equivalent: Tamiya Clear Green, indistinguishable once dry (delta E 0.0).
- From Citadel: Citadel Karandras Green, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.6).
- The Army Painter's closest color: The Army Painter Ghoul Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.1).
- Nearest in the AK Interactive catalog: AK Interactive Clear Green, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.8).
- Best Two Thin Coats option: Two Thin Coats Carapace Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 6.2), but it is a metallic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
- From Scale75: Scale75 Cthulhu Green, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 6.4), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
We checked the Lab numbers for a hidden catch and there is none: lightness and temperature both line up, so this swap is as safe as they come.
