Can I use Necron Compound instead of Dusken Green?

The same difference applies the other way round: Necron Compound is noticeably lighter, much more muted.

ΔE is the colour difference between our two swatch estimates: under 2 is a perfect match (you’d struggle to tell them apart), under 6 very close, under 10 close, under 15 fair, under 20 loose, under 30 very loose, and 30 or more a poor match. Real paints also differ in finish, coverage and how they thin, so test before you commit.
