This one is hard to match, with nothing in another brand landing close in the same finish, the nearest being Transparent Blue from Monument Pro Acryl at 63 percent in a different finish class. Leviathan Purple sits in the purple family: very dark in tone, vivid in saturation, cool in cast. Highlight it toward Luxion Purple, the nearest lighter paint in the Citadel lane. For a true match, stick with the original; cross-brand substitutes will read as a different color.
