ΔE 11.7, fair: the same colour family, but not a straight swap. Green is a little darker, more muted, cooler than Greenskin.

Can I use Green instead of Greenskin?

Only where an exact match doesn’t matter, such as a new unit or a highlight. Fair match (ΔE 12). Green is a little darker, more muted, cooler than Greenskin.

Can I use Greenskin instead of Green?

The same difference applies the other way round: Greenskin is a little lighter, more saturated, warmer.

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.
