Transparent Purple is genuinely hard to match: no other brand has a same-finish equivalent close enough to swap, and the nearest color anywhere, Vallejo Night Blue at 79 percent, is a different finish. In the pot, Transparent Purple reads as a cool blue, very dark and moderate. Shade down into Transparent Black, the nearest darker paint in the Monument Pro Acryl line. If you need this exact color, buy the pot, since no other line reproduces it in the same finish.
