Color-wise this is a moderate, mid-tone blue leaning cool. It builds a smooth gradient with Witching Hour Blue underneath and Celestial Blue on the highlights, all in the Two Thin Coats line. Leviathan Blue is a little less common: the closest same-finish match, Citadel Teclis Blue, reaches 90 percent, and 1 other brand carries a strong same-finish alternative. Expect a close but not identical result from a swap, so check it on the model before committing a whole unit.
