Glacier Blue is a very light moderate blue with a cool undertone. For modelling, drop to Green Grey in the recesses and step up to White Grey on the edges, both Vallejo paints. Substitutes are thin here, with AK Interactive Wwi German Light Blue the closest same-finish option at 72 percent and no brand hitting the strong-match bar. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
