I've spent HOURS trying to get a halfway decent match for the teal clothing on the new Skryre Skaven (see below) but nothing I try has been close enough.

#

I've been trying mainly GW paints because that's what the heavy metal team uses but I'm completely striking out. Can anyone point me in the right-ish direction?

#

I don't care about paint brand, I just want something reasonably close to that blue-green that they have

#

The exact hues vary between models so it doesn't have to be perfect; I just can't even get close to it

#

It's almost like a teal, bordering on seafoam green?

Kinda looks like perylene black to me.

Thank you, but I actually got it just now! 😃

1:1 Incubi Darkness : Sotek Green

#

It looks like the "base" color is Incubi Darkness, and then I can mix it 1:1 with other colors to get subtle differences in the shading like the example minis have. I'm gonna also try different washes to see if I can get some interesting variety that way
