Green Sky equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Vallejo Green Sky cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest The Army Painter equivalent: The Army Painter Olive Drab, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.8).
From AK Interactive: AK Interactive Wwi German Light Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.2).
Citadel's closest color: Citadel Nurgling Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.5).
Nearest in the Two Thin Coats catalog: Two Thin Coats Orc Hide, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 4.0).
The drift here is spread thinly across hue, lightness and saturation rather than leaning one way, so the mismatch reads as a general haze at delta E 2.8 rather than an obvious shift.
