In the pot, Mediterranean Blue reads as a cool blue, dark and vivid. Matching it is straightforward: Two Thin Coats Eldar Robe lands at 99 percent in the same finish, and 5 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. For modelling, drop to Violet Blue in the recesses and step up to Navy Blue on the edges, both Scale75 paints. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.

The short answer: yes, Mediterranean Blue has a true equivalent. If the pot runs dry mid project, here is the closest color each brand offers.
Closest Two Thin Coats equivalent: Two Thin Coats Eldar Robe, indistinguishable once dry (delta E 0.1).
- Nearest in the Humbrol catalog: Humbrol French Blue, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.8).
- Best Tamiya option: Tamiya Blue, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.8).
- From Monument Pro Acryl: Monument Pro Acryl Faded Ultramarine, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.9).
- The Army Painter's closest color: The Army Painter Royal Blue, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.5).
- Nearest in the Citadel catalog: Citadel Caledor Sky, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.4).
We checked the Lab numbers for a hidden catch and there is none: lightness and temperature both line up, so this swap is as safe as they come.
