The closest match to Vallejo Sea Aqua in every other range, nearest first.
Vallejo Sea Aqua is a light, moderately saturated blue-green. Only one range matches it closely enough to swap without thinking: Liquitex Light Blue Permanent, ΔE 1.9. 22 of the 30 other ranges have nothing within ΔE 5, so a substitution from those will read as a different colour.
