Color-wise this is a muted, mid-tone pink leaning cool. It builds a smooth gradient with Intermediate Blue underneath and F-15 Dark Grey (Mod Eagle) Fs 36176 on the highlights, all in the AK Interactive line. Wwi German Mauve is a bit distinctive: no other brand carries a strong same-finish match, though The Army Painter Figgy Pink comes nearest at 75 percent. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
