Sul Red is a very dark vivid red with a warm undertone. Within the P3 Paints range it ladders cleanly, Immortal Black for the shadows and Thornwood Green for the highlights. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; Green Stuff World Redwood Brown is the nearest same-finish option at 86 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.
Sul Red equivalents in other ranges
Sul Red is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.
Closest Green Stuff World equivalent: Green Stuff World Redwood Brown, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.7).
Nearest in the Monument Pro Acryl catalog: Monument Pro Acryl Black Red, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.0).
Best Vallejo option: Vallejo Dark Fleshtone, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.3).
From Two Thin Coats: Two Thin Coats Berserker Red, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.4).
The honest caveat: Green Stuff World Redwood Brown dries slightly warmer and more saturated than Sul Red, so expect recess shading and edge highlights to shift with it.
