No shortage of substitutes here, Gorthor Brown from Citadel matches at 97 percent and 5 brands carry a strong same-finish near-match. Color-wise this is a muted, dark red leaning warm. Within the Scale75 range it ladders cleanly, Petroleum Grey for the shadows and Dubai Brown for the highlights. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
