Guilliman Flesh is genuinely hard to match: no other brand has a same-finish equivalent close enough to swap, and the nearest color anywhere, Vallejo Flesh Wash at 59 percent, is a different finish. Guilliman Flesh is a light moderate red with a warm undertone. Within the Citadel range it ladders cleanly, Basilicanum Grey for the shadows and Dreadful Visage for the highlights. For a true match, stick with the original; cross-brand substitutes will read as a different color.
