Sherwood Green is a light moderate yellow with a cool undertone. For modelling, drop to Tenere Yellow in the recesses and step up to Sol Yellow on the edges, both Scale75 paints. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; Citadel Ogryn Camo is the nearest same-finish option at 90 percent, with 1 brand in strong-match range. A cross-brand swap will get you most of the way, but eyeball it against the original first.
