Burnt Orange sits in the red family: dark in tone, vivid in saturation, warm in cast. This is a common color; 6 other brands cover it, the nearest being AK Interactive Wine Red at 96 percent. For modelling, drop to Red Oxide in the recesses and step up to Shadow Flesh on the edges, both Monument Pro Acryl paints. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
