Deep Orange equivalents, brand by brand
No brand clones Deep Orange outright, but 4 ranges come close enough to swap. The best candidate from each catalog:
- Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Orange Fire, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.2).
- Nearest in the The Army Painter catalog: The Army Painter Lava Orange, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.5).
- Best Scale75 option: Scale75 Tengu Red, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.5).
- From Monument Pro Acryl: Monument Pro Acryl Pyrrole Orange, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.5).
- Revell's closest color: Revell Luminous Orange/Leuchtorange, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.9).
- Nearest in the Humbrol catalog: Humbrol Blaze Gloss, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.1).
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.
