Roasted Brown sits in the orange family: light in tone, vivid in saturation, warm in cast. This is a common color; 5 other brands cover it, the nearest being Vallejo Dark Flesh at 90 percent. Within the Scale75 range it ladders cleanly, Melange Brown for the shadows and Rebel Orange for the highlights. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
