Burnt Red equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches AK Interactive Burnt Red cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Citadel equivalent: Citadel Thondia Brown, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.1).
From Humbrol: Humbrol Brown Bess, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.1).
Monument Pro Acryl's closest color: Monument Pro Acryl Burnt Umber, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.2).
Nearest in the The Army Painter catalog: The Army Painter Oak Brown, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.7).
The drift here is spread thinly across hue, lightness and saturation rather than leaning one way, so the mismatch reads as a general haze at delta E 3.1 rather than an obvious shift.
