Icy Yellow sits in the yellow family: very light in tone, vivid in saturation, warm in cast. This is a common color; 4 other brands cover it, the nearest being AK Interactive Beige at 89 percent. It builds a smooth gradient with Ryn Flesh underneath and Devout White on the highlights, all in the P3 Paints line. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.

- From Two Thin Coats: Two Thin Coats Ares Flesh, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.1).
- Humbrol's closest color: Humbrol Desert Yellow, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.1).

Check it on a spare model first, because AK Interactive Beige sits slightly darker than the original and the difference grows over large flat panels.
