Athonian Camoshade is genuinely hard to match: no other brand has a same-finish equivalent close enough to swap, and the nearest color anywhere, Monument Pro Acryl Petroleum Brown Wash at 62 percent, is a different finish. Color-wise this is a moderate, very dark brown leaning warm. For modelling, drop to Drakenhof Nightshade in the recesses and step up to Seraphim Sepia on the edges, both Citadel paints. If you need this exact color, buy the pot, since no other line reproduces it in the same finish.
