Cross-brand swaps do not really exist for Orange Glaze; the closest color anywhere, The Army Painter Pastel Salmon at 80 percent, sits in a different finish class, so it is a reference not a substitute. Orange Glaze sits in the orange family: very light in tone, vivid in saturation, warm in cast. It builds a smooth gradient with Flesh Wash underneath and Red Glaze on the highlights, all in the Two Thin Coats line. For a true match, stick with the original; cross-brand substitutes will read as a different color.

From AK Interactive: AK Interactive Clear Yellow, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 6.9).
Vallejo's closest color: Vallejo Skin Tone, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.6), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.

Check it on a spare model first, because The Army Painter Pastel Salmon sits clearly cooler and more muted than the original and the difference grows over large flat panels.
