Evil Eye Red sits in the red family: mid-tone in tone, moderate in saturation, warm in cast. For modelling, drop to Rust Orange in the recesses and step up to Dwarven Skin on the edges, both Two Thin Coats paints. This color is somewhat distinctive: 1 brand offers a strong same-finish match, Vallejo German Orange closest at 91 percent. A cross-brand swap will get you most of the way, but eyeball it against the original first.
