Mahogany equivalents in other ranges
Several ranges orbit this color without landing on it. Here is the closest each brand manages, nearest first:
- Closest Monument Pro Acryl equivalent: Monument Pro Acryl Burnt Sienna, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.3).
- Nearest in the P3 Paints catalog: P3 Paints Basilisk Brown, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.8).
- Best Vallejo option: Vallejo Dark Red, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.3).
- From AK Interactive: AK Interactive Dark Rust, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.9).
- Revell's closest color: Revell Dark Brown (RAL 8015), workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.1).
- Nearest in the Two Thin Coats catalog: Two Thin Coats Red Rage, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.0).
Side by side the two agree in lightness and temperature; at delta E 1.3 the gap is smaller than the variation between two pots of the same paint.
