Color-wise this is a vivid, mid-tone red leaning warm. Matching it is straightforward: Vallejo Amaranth Red lands at 91 percent in the same finish, and 5 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. It builds a smooth gradient with Rust Orange underneath and Apocalypse Sky on the highlights, all in the Two Thin Coats line. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.

- Best Citadel option: Citadel Wild Rider Red, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.8).
- From The Army Painter: The Army Painter Sacred Scarlet, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 4.0).

Check it on a spare model first, because Vallejo Amaranth Red sits slightly more muted and cooler than the original and the difference grows over large flat panels.
