I Need a Little Paint Mixing Advice

Motto: "The only cure for stupidity is death."

So here's the deal. I'm working on a Nemesis Prime repaint but I'm have trouble mixing a teal paint similar to the colors on the Aleternators version.

I mainly use GamesWorkshop acrylics and can't seem to get the shade right. Any help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance.

I've done Nemesis repaints in the past but I just used silver instead of teal. This time I feel like going for a little more authentic look.

Sometimes, just checking one more store isn't worth it

I don't have to mix colors often, so I can't offer much help there; but have you tried comparing colors from other companies (Testors, Tamiya, Mr Color)? Most of them have paint charts online.

Thanks for the input, I'll have to give those a look.
