Color-wise this is a vivid, light blue leaning cool. Shade down into Sky Blue, the nearest darker paint in the Scale75 line. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; Vallejo Frost is the nearest same-finish option at 82 percent, with 1 brand in strong-match range. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
Fremen Blue equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Scale75 Fremen Blue cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Frost, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.5).
Citadel's closest color: Citadel Lothern Blue, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.6).
Nearest in the Two Thin Coats catalog: Two Thin Coats Gigawatt Blue, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.7).
Best The Army Painter option: The Army Painter Shieldwall Blue, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.2).
Worth knowing before you swap: Vallejo Frost runs slightly warmer and more muted, which shows most where the paint thins over raised detail.
