Sentient Turquoise equivalents in other ranges
Several ranges orbit this color without landing on it. Here is the closest each brand manages, nearest first:
- Closest AK Interactive equivalent: AK Interactive Ducat Blue, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.5).
- Nearest in the The Army Painter catalog: The Army Painter Phalanx Blue, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.1).
- Best Revell option: Revell Light Blue/Lichtblau (RAL 5012), workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.1).
- From Humbrol: Humbrol Mediterranean Blue, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.3).
- Scale75's closest color: Scale75 Vanity Blue, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 6.4).
- Nearest in the P3 Paints catalog: P3 Paints Voltaic Blue, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 7.8).
Side by side the two agree in lightness and temperature; at delta E 1.5 the gap is smaller than the variation between two pots of the same paint.
