Redwood Brown equivalents and near misses

Fair warning: nothing matches Green Stuff World Redwood Brown cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.

Closest Citadel equivalent: Citadel Mournfang Brown, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.6).

Best Monument Pro Acryl option: Monument Pro Acryl Burnt Sienna, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.7).

From P3 Paints: P3 Paints Sul Red, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.7).

The Two Thin Coats pick: Two Thin Coats Berserker Red, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.3).

Check it on a spare model first, because Citadel Mournfang Brown sits slightly warmer and more saturated than the original and the difference grows over large flat panels.
