Ego Green is a dark moderate blue with a cool undertone. For modelling, drop to Red Leather in the recesses and step up to Graphene Grey on the edges, both Scale75 paints. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; AK Interactive Medium Blue is the nearest same-finish option at 84 percent, with 1 brand in strong-match range. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
Ego Green equivalents in other ranges
Ego Green is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.
Closest AK Interactive equivalent: AK Interactive Medium Blue, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.1).
Humbrol's closest color: Humbrol Petrol Blue, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.5).
Nearest in the Citadel catalog: Citadel Stegadon Scale Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.5).
Best Vallejo option: Vallejo Turquoise, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.6).
Check it on a spare model first, because AK Interactive Medium Blue sits slightly darker than the original and the difference grows over large flat panels.
