Opaque acrylicCitadel Base

Color-wise this is a moderate, very dark pink leaning cool. For highlights, the next step up in the Citadel range is Gal Vorbak Red. Barak-Nar Burgundy is a bit distinctive: no other brand carries a strong same-finish match, though Revell Purple (RAL 4007) comes nearest at 79 percent. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.

From P3 Paints: P3 Paints Royal Violet, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 7.5).
