How close are they?

ΔE 4.5, very close: most people won’t see a difference side by side. Our swatches for the two are almost the same. They are different kinds of paint: Army Painter Dark Sky is an opaque base/layer paint and Green Stuff World Blue is an ink, glaze or transparent paint, so they won’t behave the same on the model even where the colour is close.

Can I use Blue instead of Dark Sky?

Yes, for most jobs. Very close match (ΔE 5). The swatches are almost the same. They are different kinds of paint.

Can I use Dark Sky instead of Blue?

The same difference applies the other way round.

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.
