Sunny Skin Tone

AK Interactive

Base · #EDA968

Opaque acrylic3rd Generation Acrylic

Sunny Skin Tone is a light vivid orange with a warm undertone. It builds a smooth gradient with Rlm 79 (1941) underneath and Radiant Flesh on the highlights, all in the AK Interactive line. Sunny Skin Tone is a little less common: the closest same-finish match, Vallejo Flat Flesh, reaches 80 percent, and 1 other brand carries a strong same-finish alternative. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.

Sunny Skin Tone equivalents in other ranges

Sunny Skin Tone is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.

Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Flat Flesh, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.1).

Nearest in the Revell catalog: Revell African Brown, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.5).

Best Scale75 option: Scale75 Starving Brown, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.9).

From The Army Painter: The Army Painter Barbarian Flesh, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.4).

Check it on a spare model first, because Vallejo Flat Flesh sits slightly darker than the original and the difference grows over large flat panels.
