Fur Brown is a mid-tone moderate brown with a warm undertone. Matching it is straightforward: Revell Mud Brown (RAL 8003) lands at 84 percent in the same finish, and 4 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. It builds a smooth gradient with Leather Brown underneath and Command Khaki on the highlights, all in the The Army Painter line. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
