This one is hard to match, with nothing in another brand landing close in the same finish, the nearest being Golden Yellow from Monument Pro Acryl at 87 percent in a different finish class. Armageddon Dust sits in the yellow family: light in tone, vivid in saturation, warm in cast. To deepen it, Nurgles Rot is the darker step in the same Citadel range. For a true match, stick with the original; cross-brand substitutes will read as a different color.
