In the pot, Bright Yellow Ochre reads as a warm orange, mid-tone and moderate. For modelling, drop to Yellow Ochre in the recesses and step up to Dark Warm Flesh on the edges, both Monument Pro Acryl paints. This color is somewhat distinctive: 2 brands offer a strong same-finish match, Vallejo Ochre Brown closest at 87 percent. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
Bright Yellow Ochre equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Monument Pro Acryl Bright Yellow Ochre cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Ochre Brown, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.6).
From AK Interactive: AK Interactive Ral 8031 F9 Sandbraun, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.6).
Green Stuff World's closest color: Green Stuff World Leather Brown, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.6).
Nearest in the P3 Paints catalog: P3 Paints Heartfire, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.6).
Worth knowing before you swap: Vallejo Ochre Brown runs clearly cooler and more muted, which shows most where the paint thins over raised detail.
