Color-wise this is a muted, light green leaning cool. No shortage of substitutes here, Nurgling Green from Citadel matches at 85 percent and 3 brands carry a strong same-finish near-match. Within the Two Thin Coats range it ladders cleanly, Kobold Grey for the shadows and Contagion Green for the highlights. In practice you can substitute across brands here without anyone noticing at arm's length.
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.
