As a paint, Tropical Turquoise requires specific handling that affects how any substitute performs. The colour sits in the teal range.
A paint substitute only becomes trustworthy once it survives the same primer, shade, and highlight sequence as the original recipe.

That combination of colour distance, finish, and recipe context is what makes a paint substitute reliable on an actual miniature.
