Matching it is straightforward: Two Thin Coats Oxidation Green lands at 87 percent in the same finish, and 3 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. Color-wise this is a moderate, dark blue leaning cool. It builds a smooth gradient with Eryn Green underneath and Black Leather on the highlights, all in the Scale75 line. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
Caspian Blue equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Scale75 Caspian Blue cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Two Thin Coats equivalent: Two Thin Coats Oxidation Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.7).
Best AK Interactive option: AK Interactive Deep Sea Blue, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.2).
From Humbrol: Humbrol Russian Blue, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.5).
The Army Painter's closest color: The Army Painter Thunderous Blue, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.8).
Check it on a spare model first, because Two Thin Coats Oxidation Green sits slightly warmer than the original and the difference grows over large flat panels.
