Khardic Flesh equivalents, brand by brand
No brand clones Khardic Flesh outright, but 3 ranges come close enough to swap. The best candidate from each catalog:
- Closest AK Interactive equivalent: AK Interactive Medium Rust, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.0).
- Revell's closest color: Revell Brown/Braun (RAL 8023), close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.1).
- Nearest in the Scale75 catalog: Scale75 Insatiable Brown, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.3).
- Best Humbrol option: Humbrol Red Leather, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.9).
- From Vallejo: Vallejo Red Leather, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.3).
- Citadel's closest color: Citadel Squig Orange, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 6.9).
We checked the Lab numbers for a hidden catch and there is none: lightness and temperature both line up, so this swap is as safe as they come.
