Hey Ax! How’s it going man? Hopefully this helps but I’ve tried a couple things on Starduster and I included some pictures so you can see the paints I used on the recent one.
My first attempt I did a lot of paint mixing to try and match it but didn’t have the foresight to take pictures of the paints I used back then. The second attempt I finished recently, I decided to use a darker shade. I would start with the Green Sky color and blend with White and Sky Blue depending on the look you want. Let me know how it goes.

I’m stuck in a green pretty similar to your picture, but wanted a little more blue, but it just won’t turn. I dumped some light blue, then a darker one, and the color literally hasn’t changed. I might just roll with what I’ve got and hope the blue comes through as it cures.

Start with blue first if you want to have that effect. Then add one drop at a time of that greenish color to tint where you like it. See if that helps

Problem I keep running into is when it's blue, I feel like it's not green enough, and when it's green, I feel like it's not blue enough. It might just be me.

Have you tried adding white to the mix at all? Sometimes when I’m slightly off on color, I’ll add a tiny bit of white to the mix and it’ll take some bite out of it or brighten it up.

Brightness is fine- I just need a slight tinge of blue and can’t get it

Can you send a picture of the paints you’re using and what your mix looks like? It might be better if I can see it.

I think my eyes were burned out earlier because I sat down to tinker with it but my mix looks like I want it.

Looks good man. I think you’ve got the color down now. What did you end up doing to get it just right
