Meaty Ochre sits in the brown family: mid-tone in tone, vivid in saturation, warm in cast. It builds a smooth gradient with Beast Hide underneath and Rucksack Tan on the highlights, all in the P3 Paints line. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; Citadel Skrag Brown is the nearest same-finish option at 87 percent, with 2 brands in strong-match range. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
Meaty Ochre equivalents in other ranges
Meaty Ochre is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.
Closest Citadel equivalent: Citadel Skrag Brown, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.6).
Nearest in the AK Interactive catalog: AK Interactive Orange Brown, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.5).
Best Green Stuff World option: Green Stuff World Komodo Khaki, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.8).
From Humbrol: Humbrol Red Brown, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.8).
Check it on a spare model first, because Citadel Skrag Brown sits slightly darker than the original and the difference grows over large flat panels.
