Burgundy is a very dark vivid red with a warm undertone. Matching it is straightforward: P3 Paints Sanguine Shadow lands at 91 percent in the same finish, and 4 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. For modelling, drop to Dark Orange Brown in the recesses and step up to Dark Magenta on the edges, both Monument Pro Acryl paints. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
Burgundy equivalents in other ranges
No brand clones Burgundy outright, but 1 range comes close enough to swap. The best candidate from each catalog:
- Closest P3 Paints equivalent: P3 Paints Sanguine Shadow, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.8).
- Revell's closest color: Revell Purple Red, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.8).
- Nearest in the Two Thin Coats catalog: Two Thin Coats Berserker Red, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.4).
- Best Citadel option: Citadel Mournfang Brown, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.7).
- From Green Stuff World: Green Stuff World Redwood Brown, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.2).
- AK Interactive's closest color: AK Interactive Ral 8013 Rotbraun, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.3).
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.
