In the pot, Valyrian Green reads as a cool green, light and moderate. Shade down into Spring Green, the nearest darker paint in the Scale75 line. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; Humbrol Lime is the nearest same-finish option at 86 percent, with 2 brands in strong-match range. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
Valyrian Green equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Scale75 Valyrian Green cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Humbrol equivalent: Humbrol Lime, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.9).
Best Two Thin Coats option: Two Thin Coats Talisman Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.7).
From The Army Painter: The Army Painter Electric Lime, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.7).
AK Interactive's closest color: AK Interactive Slime Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 7.2).
The honest caveat: Humbrol Lime dries clearly warmer and more saturated than Valyrian Green, so expect recess shading and edge highlights to shift with it.
