Hellion Red Wash is genuinely hard to match: no other brand has a same-finish equivalent close enough to swap, and the nearest color anywhere, Citadel Knight-Questor Flesh at 74 percent, is a different finish. In the pot, Hellion Red Wash reads as a warm red, mid-tone and muted. Within the Two Thin Coats range it ladders cleanly, Bone Wash for the shadows and Purple Glaze for the highlights. If you need this exact color, buy the pot, since no other line reproduces it in the same finish.
