Color-wise this is a vivid, light red leaning warm. It builds a smooth gradient with Raging Rose underneath and Barbarian Flesh on the highlights, all in the The Army Painter line. Raging Rouge is a little less common: the closest same-finish match, Vallejo Fresh Blood, reaches 93 percent, and 1 other brand carries a strong same-finish alternative.
