I have a color in mind that i wish to paint with, i have the hex#, but it seems like it's tricky to find a color lookup or something of the sort. How could i find the closest fit to said color?
#Is there anyway to look up a certain color and find said color?

Apparently hex code matching/searching can be unlocked in the PaintRack (iOS/Android) app for a one time fee of around $6 USD (I haven't tried this)
It's worth noting that a hex code (or any other color code really) on a computer screen are not totally reliable since computers use a light-based additive color system and physical pigments are a subtractive color system. Not to mention monitor calibration and other environmental factors.
That said, I wonder if Moot Green or Warboss green from this chart https://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/paint_range_compatibility_chart would get you close enough?

Yes, the just of it is its from a 2d, top-down sprite based game. I wanna 3d print some models and this color is used to denote squad color, hence the certainly of the color

that color actually doesn't look too far off from Spring Green by Scale 75 (scalecolor line)

I wonder in what lighting environment they measure the hex code of the paint...
