Color-wise this is a moderate, light green leaning cool. For modelling, drop to Light Emerald in the recesses and step up to Verdigris on the edges, both Vallejo paints. This color is somewhat distinctive: 1 brand offers a strong same-finish match, Two Thin Coats Ghoul Green closest at 83 percent. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
Ghost Green equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Vallejo Ghost Green cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Two Thin Coats equivalent: Two Thin Coats Ghoul Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.4).
The Army Painter's closest color: The Army Painter Wild Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.0).
Nearest in the Citadel catalog: Citadel Gauss Blaster Green, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 6.9).
Best Green Stuff World option: Green Stuff World Mint Twister, only a loose relative (delta E 9.0).
Worth knowing before you swap: Two Thin Coats Ghoul Green runs slightly cooler, which shows most where the paint thins over raised detail.
