Amethyst Lillac sits in the blue family: mid-tone in tone, moderate in saturation, cool in cast. Within the Scale75 range it ladders cleanly, Sky Blue for the shadows and Dried Lavender for the highlights. Amethyst Lillac is a little less common: the closest same-finish match, The Army Painter Baron Blue, reaches 80 percent, and 1 other brand carries a strong same-finish alternative. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
Amethyst Lillac equivalents in other ranges
Amethyst Lillac is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.
Closest The Army Painter equivalent: The Army Painter Baron Blue, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.9).
Nearest in the Tamiya catalog: Tamiya Light Blue, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.9).
Best Two Thin Coats option: Two Thin Coats Celestial Blue, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 7.1).
From AK Interactive: AK Interactive Raf Azure Blue, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 7.2).
Worth knowing before you swap: The Army Painter Baron Blue runs slightly more muted and lighter, which shows most where the paint thins over raised detail.
