Color-wise this is a vivid, light green leaning cool. This color is somewhat distinctive: 1 brand offers a strong same-finish match, Scale75 Valyrian Green closest at 86 percent. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
Lime equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Humbrol Lime cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Scale75 equivalent: Scale75 Valyrian Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.9).
From Two Thin Coats: Two Thin Coats Talisman Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.2).
The Army Painter's closest color: The Army Painter Electric Lime, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.2).
Nearest in the AK Interactive catalog: AK Interactive Slime Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.5).
Check it on a spare model first, because Scale75 Valyrian Green sits clearly cooler and more muted than the original and the difference grows over large flat panels.
