Warped Yellow sits in the yellow family: very light in tone, vivid in saturation, warm in cast. Matching it is straightforward: Citadel Phalanx Yellow lands at 85 percent in the same finish, and 7 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. To deepen it, Daemonic Yellow is the darker step in the same The Army Painter range. Treat it as an easy swap, just confirm the finish type matches before you commit.
