The digital color reference is a vivid, dark teal leaning cool. Emerald from Vallejo scores 97 percent against the stored swatch and shares its broad paint-type group. For a possible shade and highlight, compare Scarab Green and Leafy Green, both The Army Painter paints selected from the digital catalog. A shared broad paint type does not guarantee the same sheen, opacity or thinner compatibility.
