Color-wise this is a moderate, mid-tone yellow leaning warm. Within the Citadel range it ladders cleanly, Tallarn Sand for the shadows and Zandri Dust for the highlights. This color is somewhat distinctive: 2 brands offer a strong same-finish match, Vallejo Japanese Uniform Wwii closest at 96 percent. Expect a close but not identical result from a swap, so check it on the model before committing a whole unit.
