Brazen Copper is genuinely hard to match: no other brand has a same-finish equivalent close enough to swap, and the nearest color anywhere, Two Thin Coats Fire Opal at 63 percent, is a different finish. Brazen Copper sits in the metallic gold family: mid-tone in tone, moderate in saturation, warm in cast. It builds a smooth gradient with True Copper underneath and Talos Bronze on the highlights, all in the The Army Painter line. For a true match, stick with the original; cross-brand substitutes will read as a different color.

What finish is Brazen Copper?
