Deck Tan equivalents, brand by brand
No brand clones Deck Tan outright, but 2 ranges come close enough to swap. The best candidate from each catalog:
- Closest Scale75 equivalent: Scale75 White Sands, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.8).
- Nearest in the Monument Pro Acryl catalog: Monument Pro Acryl Bright Ivory, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.9).
- Best Vallejo option: Vallejo Bone White, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.2).
- From The Army Painter: The Army Painter Worn Stone, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.4).
- Green Stuff World's closest color: Green Stuff World Deck Grey, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.5).
- Nearest in the Citadel catalog: Citadel Wraithbone, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.0).
We checked the Lab numbers for a hidden catch and there is none: lightness and temperature both line up, so this swap is as safe as they come.
