Bone is a mid-tone muted grey with a neutral cast. For modelling, drop to Beige Red in the recesses and step up to Bright Green Blue on the edges, both Monument Pro Acryl paints. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; Citadel Stormvermin Fur is the nearest same-finish option at 91 percent, with 2 brands in strong-match range. A cross-brand swap will get you most of the way, but eyeball it against the original first.
Bone equivalents in other ranges
No brand clones Bone outright, but 1 range comes close enough to swap. The best candidate from each catalog:
- Closest Citadel equivalent: Citadel Stormvermin Fur, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.8).
- Nearest in the Revell catalog: Revell Earth Brown (RAL 7006), close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.9).
- Best AK Interactive option: AK Interactive Reddish Grey, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.5).
- From Scale75: Scale75 Rainy Grey, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.7).
- Vallejo's closest color: Vallejo London Grey, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.0).
- Nearest in the P3 Paints catalog: P3 Paints Blackwater Sand, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.0).
Side by side the two agree in lightness and temperature; at delta E 1.8 the gap is smaller than the variation between two pots of the same paint.
