Color-wise this is a vivid, dark metallic gold leaning warm. For modelling, drop to Bronze in the recesses and step up to Rich Gold on the edges, both Monument Pro Acryl paints. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; P3 Paints Bronze Badge is the nearest same-finish option at 87 percent, with 1 brand in strong-match range. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
Copper equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Monument Pro Acryl Copper cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest P3 Paints equivalent: P3 Paints Bronze Badge, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.6).
From Citadel: Citadel Gehenna's Gold, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.5).
Vallejo's closest color: Vallejo Brass, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.7).
Nearest in the AK Interactive catalog: AK Interactive Mahogany Brown, indistinguishable once dry (delta E 1.0), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
Check it on a spare model first, because P3 Paints Bronze Badge sits slightly warmer and more saturated than the original and the difference grows over large flat panels.

Frequently asked
What is the closest equivalent to Monument Pro Acryl Copper?
The closest same-finish match is P3 Paints Bronze Badge at 87% color similarity.
Is there a Citadel equivalent of Copper?
Yes. The closest Citadel option is Gehenna's Gold at 77%, a same-finish match.
What finish is Copper?
Copper is a metallic paint with a gold tone and a reflective finish. Because the shine comes from metal flake, a flat paint can match the color and still be wrong for the job, which is why cross-finish matches here are references rather than swaps.
