ΔE 11.9, fair: the same colour family, but not a straight swap. Teal is a little lighter, warmer than Skink Blue. They are different kinds of paint: Citadel Skink Blue is an opaque base/layer paint and Golden Teal is an ink, glaze or transparent paint, so they won’t behave the same on the model even where the colour is close.
Only where an exact match doesn’t matter, such as a new unit or a highlight. Fair match (ΔE 12). Teal is a little lighter, warmer than Skink Blue. They are different kinds of paint.
The same difference applies the other way round: Skink Blue is a little darker, cooler.
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.
