In the pot, Black Red reads as a warm red, very dark and moderate. Matching it is straightforward: P3 Paints Amethyst Rose lands at 85 percent in the same finish, and 3 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. Within the Monument Pro Acryl range it ladders cleanly, Dark Neutral Grey for the shadows and Dark Warm Grey for the highlights. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
Black Red equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Monument Pro Acryl Black Red cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest P3 Paints equivalent: P3 Paints Amethyst Rose, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.9).
Vallejo's closest color: Vallejo Nocturnal Red, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.9).
Nearest in the Green Stuff World catalog: Green Stuff World Choco Brown, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.2).
Best Two Thin Coats option: Two Thin Coats Amphora Red, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.8).
Check it on a spare model first, because P3 Paints Amethyst Rose sits slightly warmer and more saturated than the original and the difference grows over large flat panels.
