In the pot, Gravedigger Denim reads as a cool blue, dark and moderate. No shortage of substitutes here, Cantabric Blue from Scale75 matches at 93 percent and 5 brands carry a strong same-finish near-match. It builds a smooth gradient with Pyg Grey underneath and Stormguard Blue on the highlights, all in the P3 Paints line. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
