No shortage of substitutes here, Wraithbone from Citadel matches at 90 percent and 6 brands carry a strong same-finish near-match. Bone White sits in the yellow family: very light in tone, moderate in saturation, warm in cast. For modelling, drop to Basic Skin Tone in the recesses and step up to Chainmail on the edges, both Vallejo paints. Treat it as an easy swap, just confirm the finish type matches before you commit.

- From Green Stuff World: Green Stuff World Deck Grey, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.5).

The honest caveat: Citadel Wraithbone dries slightly lighter than Bone White, so expect recess shading and edge highlights to shift with it.
