Light Blue Gloss equivalents, brand by brand
No brand clones Light Blue Gloss outright, but 1 range comes close enough to swap. The best candidate from each catalog:
- Closest Citadel equivalent: Citadel Lothern Blue, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.1).
- Best Two Thin Coats option: Two Thin Coats Seafarer Blue, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.4).
- From The Army Painter: The Army Painter Arctic Gem, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.8).
- Vallejo's closest color: Vallejo Deep Sky Blue, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.8).
- Nearest in the Scale75 catalog: Scale75 Fremen Blue, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 6.3).
- Best Green Stuff World option: Green Stuff World Zima Blue, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 6.9).
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 2.1 rather than an obvious shift.
