Citadel Color - Emerald Green

[Hendarion]

Hiho.

I'm in search of "Citadel Emerald Green". That color is off from the stores and the citadel color ranges for years, but its one of the primary colors I am using.
If anybody still has a working pot of it and doesn't really require it... I WANT IT!
Same goes for the old (6-sided with white[!] cap) Scorpion Green.

I'm in desperate need of these... I tried other colors from various brands, tried to mix them up, but nothing reached a tone that is close enough to the original ones.

Thanks for reading and ... please help if you can

just mix the colour from scratch, it probably will be easier to do that than find more pots of the paint

As I said, I tried that. And its really really hard to match the tone I have tried numerous brands and mixes, all just wasted with a non-matching result. I even tried to get it mixed by a professional, but ... no comment needed about the outcome.

Did you try the Vallejo Game Colour range? They're similar, all the way to the name.

According to one the many comparisn charts found online, Scorpion Green is like their Scorpy Green.
I don't think Emerald Green made the cut to the current range, but is probably close to the the current Snot Green, or Vallejo's Sick Green.

Vallejo surely doesn't have an equivalent to Emerald Green. Citadel Snot Green is quite close, but misses some blue touch. I'll check on Vallejo Scorpy Green, but my major issue is Emerald.

Hi Hendarion,

Coat d'arms is what you are looking for. They were the original makers of the hexagon citadel paints and they still make them. I'm not sure where in the world you are but in the UK you can look here at Blackhat.

If you're elsewhere do a google search.

Hope this helps

TTFN

Woooo. The color-table looks kinda different though, even if the names are more or less equal and at least a similar tone. Those are perfectly the same colors? I gotta try that (I'm from Germany though, will check deeper tomorrow, gotta go off now). Thanks so far!

I checked it out and the colors shown in the online-shop seam to be better than from the color-number-table. Scorpion green looks awsome the same as what I want, the Emerald... can't tell yet But I'm going to order and check it out.
Thanks a lot!
