Matching it is straightforward: Humbrol Red Brown lands at 97 percent in the same finish, and 4 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. Komodo Khaki sits in the brown family: mid-tone in tone, moderate in saturation, warm in cast. For modelling, drop to Gengis Khaki in the recesses and step up to Coyote Brown on the edges, both Green Stuff World paints. In practice you can substitute across brands here without anyone noticing at arm's length.
Komodo Khaki equivalents in other ranges
This is one of the easy ones. A same finish twin exists, and 4 brands in the catalog land close enough to consider.
Closest Humbrol equivalent: Humbrol Red Brown, the same color for practical purposes (delta E 0.7).
- Vallejo's closest color: Vallejo Plague Brown, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.9).
- Nearest in the P3 Paints catalog: P3 Paints Skorne Flesh, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.2).
- Best The Army Painter option: The Army Painter Fur Brown, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.8).
- From AK Interactive: AK Interactive Tan Earth, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.6).
- Citadel's closest color: Citadel Balor Brown, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.8).
Side by side the two agree in lightness and temperature; at delta E 0.7 the gap is smaller than the variation between two pots of the same paint.
