S.C.C. No.1A Very Dark Brown
Base · #27130A
In the pot, S.C.C. No.1A Very Dark Brown reads as a warm brown, very dark and moderate. For modelling, drop to Strong Dark Blue in the recesses and step up to Grim Brown on the edges, both AK Interactive paints. This color is somewhat distinctive: 2 brands offer a strong same-finish match, Green Stuff World Scorched Wood closest at 88 percent. Expect a close but not identical result from a swap, so check it on the model before committing a whole unit.
S.C.C. No.1A Very Dark Brown equivalents, brand by brand
Several ranges orbit this color without landing on it. Here is the closest each brand manages, nearest first:
- Closest Green Stuff World equivalent: Green Stuff World Scorched Wood, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.3).
- Nearest in the Monument Pro Acryl catalog: Monument Pro Acryl Dark Umber, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.2).
- Best Vallejo option: Vallejo Charred Brown, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.3).
- From P3 Paints: P3 Paints Battlefield Brown, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.7).
- Scale75's closest color: Scale75 African Shadow, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 7.5).
- Nearest in the Citadel catalog: Citadel Catachan Flesh, only a loose relative (delta E 8.0).
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.
