In practice you can substitute across brands here without anyone noticing at arm's length.

Cross-brand results

Orc Hide equivalents and near misses

Fair warning: nothing matches Two Thin Coats Orc Hide cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.

Closest Citadel equivalent: Citadel Nurgling Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.0).

From AK Interactive: AK Interactive Wwi German Light Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.3).

Vallejo's closest color: Vallejo Green Sky, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 4.0).

Nearest in the The Army Painter catalog: The Army Painter Grotesque Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 6.5).

The honest caveat: Citadel Nurgling Green dries slightly warmer than Orc Hide, so expect recess shading and edge highlights to shift with it.
