This is a common color; 4 other brands cover it, the nearest being Monument Pro Acryl Burnt Sienna at 93 percent. In the pot, Sanguine Shadow reads as a warm red, very dark and vivid. For modelling, drop to Rhok Hide in the recesses and step up to Murderous Magenta on the edges, both P3 Paints paints. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
