In the pot, Bering Blue reads as a cool teal, dark and moderate. Matching it is straightforward: Citadel Sotek Green lands at 82 percent in the same finish, and 3 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. It builds a smooth gradient with Rogue Grey underneath and Ñañara Green on the highlights, all in the Scale75 line. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.

Cross-brand results

Bering Blue equivalents and near misses

Fair warning: nothing matches Scale75 Bering Blue cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.

Closest Citadel equivalent: Citadel Sotek Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.5).

Best AK Interactive option: AK Interactive Ijn/Ija Aotake, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.6).

From Humbrol: Humbrol Baltic Blue, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.1).

The P3 Paints pick: P3 Paints Trollblood Blue, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.3).

The honest caveat: Citadel Sotek Green dries slightly cooler and more saturated than Bering Blue, so expect recess shading and edge highlights to shift with it.
