If you have access to a nearby Warhammer shop, you might find their "Sotek Green", which appears as more of a turquoise than a green.

Model Colour Vallejo 808 Blue Green, available from, well - here!
(or if your opinion on what 'Teal' is differs - a brighter shade would be 966, Turquoise - also available from Pendraken.

I thought that platypus were basically brown with a very slight hint of a blue/green when seen in the right light at the right angle.

But I am sure one of our Australian members could clarify things?
