Color-wise this is a vivid, light red leaning warm. Shade down into Fire Dragon Bright, the nearest darker paint in the Citadel line. This color is somewhat distinctive: 1 brand offers a strong same-finish match, Two Thin Coats Orange Flare closest at 83 percent. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
Lugganath Orange equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Citadel Lugganath Orange cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Two Thin Coats equivalent: Two Thin Coats Orange Flare, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.4).
Nearest in the Scale75 catalog: Scale75 Pink Of Desire, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.3).
Best Vallejo option: Vallejo Salmon Rose, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.6).
From AK Interactive: AK Interactive Salmon, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.0).
The drift here is spread thinly across hue, lightness and saturation rather than leaning one way, so the mismatch reads as a general haze at delta E 3.4 rather than an obvious shift.
