This one is hard to match, with nothing in another brand landing close in the same finish, the nearest being Wwi German Mauve from AK Interactive at 66 percent in a different finish class. Forbidden Fruit sits in the pink family: mid-tone in tone, muted in saturation, cool in cast. Within the The Army Painter range it ladders cleanly, Onyx Skin for the shadows and Mocca Skin for the highlights. For a true match, stick with the original; cross-brand substitutes will read as a different color.
