Spring Green equivalents in other ranges
Several ranges orbit this color without landing on it. Here is the closest each brand manages, nearest first:
- Closest The Army Painter equivalent: The Army Painter Electric Lime, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.1).
- Best Two Thin Coats option: Two Thin Coats Talisman Green, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.3).
- From AK Interactive: AK Interactive Slime Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.8).
- Green Stuff World's closest color: Green Stuff World Flubber Green, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.0).
- Nearest in the Humbrol catalog: Humbrol Lime, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.0).
- Best Vallejo option: Vallejo Fluorescent Green, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.8).
The honest caveat: The Army Painter Electric Lime dries slightly warmer than Spring Green, so expect recess shading and edge highlights to shift with it.
