Ushabti Bone

Citadel

Layer · #ABA173

Opaque acrylicCitadel Layer

Ushabti Bone is a light muted yellow with a warm undertone. For modelling, drop to Administratum Grey in the recesses and step up to Morghast Bone on the edges, both Citadel paints. This color is somewhat distinctive: 1 brand offers a strong same-finish match, Two Thin Coats Gung-ho Green closest at 80 percent. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.

Ushabti Bone equivalents in other ranges

Ushabti Bone is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.

Closest Two Thin Coats equivalent: Two Thin Coats Gung-ho Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.9).

Monument Pro Acryl's closest color: Monument Pro Acryl Khaki, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.2).

Nearest in the AK Interactive catalog: AK Interactive Wood Base, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.6).

Best The Army Painter option: The Army Painter Dusty Skull, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.0).

The honest caveat: Two Thin Coats Gung-ho Green dries slightly more saturated and warmer than Ushabti Bone, so expect recess shading and edge highlights to shift with it.
