Spectral Purple is genuinely hard to match: no other brand has a same-finish equivalent close enough to swap, and the nearest color anywhere, Vallejo Demon Blood at 67 percent, is a different finish. In the pot, Spectral Purple reads as a cool purple, mid-tone and moderate. For modelling, drop to Sorcerer's Cloak in the recesses and step up to Neo Pink on the edges, both Two Thin Coats paints. If you need this exact color, buy the pot, since no other line reproduces it in the same finish.
