In the pot, Meredius Blue reads as a cool teal, mid-tone and vivid. No shortage of substitutes here, Adriatic Blue from Scale75 matches at 91 percent and 3 brands carry a strong same-finish near-match. For modelling, drop to Runeshot in the recesses and step up to Voltaic Blue on the edges, both P3 Paints paints. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
Meredius Blue equivalents, brand by brand
Several ranges orbit this color without landing on it. Here is the closest each brand manages, nearest first:
- Closest Scale75 equivalent: Scale75 Adriatic Blue, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.9).
- The Two Thin Coats pick: Two Thin Coats Antiquity Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.5).
- Nearest in the The Army Painter catalog: The Army Painter Hydra Turquoise, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.0).
- Best Vallejo option: Vallejo Blue Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.6).
- From AK Interactive: AK Interactive Blue-Green, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 8.0).
- Citadel's closest color: Citadel Temple Guard Blue, only a loose relative (delta E 8.7).
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.
