Frost Effect is genuinely hard to match: no other brand has a same-finish equivalent close enough to swap, and the nearest color anywhere, Monument Pro Acryl Matte Grey Primer at 55 percent, is a different finish. Frost Effect is a dark muted blue with a cool undertone. Highlight it toward Chipping Effect, the nearest lighter paint in the AK Interactive lane. For a true match, stick with the original; cross-brand substitutes will read as a different color.
