Can I use Electric Blue instead of Cyan?

Only where an exact match doesn’t matter, such as a new unit or a highlight. Fair match (ΔE 12). Electric Blue is a little darker, more saturated than Cyan.

Can I use Cyan instead of Electric Blue?

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

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.
