In the pot, Tiger's Eye Skin reads as a warm red, light and moderate. For modelling, drop to Gargoyle Grey in the recesses and step up to Tomb King Tan on the edges, both The Army Painter paints. This color is somewhat distinctive: 1 brand offers a strong same-finish match, Monument Pro Acryl Pale Pink closest at 83 percent. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
Tiger's Eye Skin equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches The Army Painter Tiger's Eye Skin cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Monument Pro Acryl equivalent: Monument Pro Acryl Pale Pink, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.3).
Best Scale75 option: Scale75 Milan Pink, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.2).
From AK Interactive: AK Interactive British Desert Pink Zi, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 6.0).
Green Stuff World's closest color: Green Stuff World Pale Flesh, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 6.4).
Check it on a spare model first, because Monument Pro Acryl Pale Pink sits slightly cooler than the original and the difference grows over large flat panels.
