Ghost Lantern colour scheme for miniatures

Lost souls that drift through the mist: pale spectral green, cold black-teal and old lantern light.

Tip: Paint spirits from the dark colour at the bottom to the spectral green at the top so they fade away.

Below is each colour in the scheme with the closest paint in every major brand. Metal colours are matched to metallic paints, the rest to opaque paints. ΔE is how far the paint is from the target colour: under about 6 is close, over about 15 is loose. These are worked out from swatch estimates, so check the real paints before you start.
