Bile Green is a very light vivid yellow with a warm undertone. For modelling, drop to Deep Yellow in the recesses and step up to Yellow Green on the edges, both Vallejo paints. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; AK Interactive Luminous Green is the nearest same-finish option at 87 percent, with 1 brand in strong-match range. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
Bile Green equivalents in other ranges
Bile Green is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.
Closest AK Interactive equivalent: AK Interactive Luminous Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.5).
Best Green Stuff World option: Green Stuff World Banana Split, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.5).
From Scale75: Scale75 Marine Yellow, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.5).
The Two Thin Coats pick: Two Thin Coats Sun Bleach Yellow, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 6.0).
Worth knowing before you swap: AK Interactive Luminous Green runs clearly cooler and more muted, which shows most where the paint thins over raised detail.
