This one is hard to match, with nothing in another brand landing close in the same finish, the nearest being Steel Legion Drab from Citadel at 65 percent in a different finish class. Blighted Gold sits in the metallic gold family: dark in tone, vivid in saturation, warm in cast. It builds a smooth gradient with Copper Pipe underneath and Copper Penny on the highlights, all in the P3 Paints line. For a true match, stick with the original; cross-brand substitutes will read as a different color.

Frequently asked
What is the closest equivalent to P3 Paints Blighted Gold?
The closest same-finish match is Citadel Steel Legion Drab at 65% color similarity.
What finish is Blighted Gold?
Blighted Gold is a metallic paint with a gold tone and a reflective finish. Because the shine comes from metal flake, a flat paint can match the color and still be wrong for the job, which is why cross-finish matches here are references rather than swaps.
What do I highlight and shade Blighted Gold with?
Highlight Blighted Gold toward Copper Penny and shade it down into Copper Pipe, both P3 Paints paints in the same finish family.
