Luminous Orange (RAL 2005) sits in the orange family: light in tone, vivid in saturation, warm in cast. To deepen it, Orange (RAL 2004) is the darker step in the same Revell range.

Luminous Orange (RAL 2005) equivalents in other ranges
Luminous Orange (RAL 2005) is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.
Closest AK Interactive equivalent: AK Interactive Luminous Orange, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.9).
From Two Thin Coats: Two Thin Coats Solar Flare, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.1).
Vallejo's closest color: Vallejo Sunset Orange, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.1).
Nearest in the Green Stuff World catalog: Green Stuff World Peach Flesh, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.5).
The honest caveat: AK Interactive Luminous Orange dries clearly cooler and more muted than Luminous Orange (RAL 2005), so expect recess shading and edge highlights to shift with it.
