Nº8 Earth Red (Fs 30117)
Base · #6D3D26
Color-wise this is a moderate, dark brown leaning warm. Matching it is straightforward: Monument Pro Acryl Advanced Flesh Tone lands at 89 percent in the same finish, and 4 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. For modelling, drop to Khaki Green No.3 in the recesses and step up to British Khaki on the edges, both AK Interactive paints. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.

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 2.3 rather than an obvious shift.
