Orange equivalents in other ranges
No brand clones Orange outright, but 1 range comes close enough to swap. The best candidate from each catalog:
- Closest P3 Paints equivalent: P3 Paints Inferno Orange, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.0).
- Nearest in the Humbrol catalog: Humbrol Matt Rust, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.6).
- Best Scale75 option: Scale75 Mars Orange, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.7).
- From The Army Painter: The Army Painter Burning Ore, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.9).
- AK Interactive's closest color: AK Interactive Amaranth Red, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.2).
- Nearest in the Green Stuff World catalog: Green Stuff World Ember Orange, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.9).
The drift here is spread thinly across hue, lightness and saturation rather than leaning one way, so the mismatch reads as a general haze at delta E 2.0 rather than an obvious shift.
