Can I use Cyan instead of Skink Blue?

The same difference applies the other way round: Cyan is a little darker, more saturated.

ΔE is the colour difference between our two swatch estimates: under about 6 is close, over about 15 is loose. Real paints also differ in finish, coverage and how they thin, so test before you commit.
