This one is hard to match, with nothing in another brand landing close in the same finish, the nearest being Fyreslayer Flesh from Citadel at 64 percent in a different finish class. Flesh Wash sits in the orange family: light in tone, moderate in saturation, warm in cast. To deepen it, Umber Wash is the darker step in the same Vallejo range. For a true match, stick with the original; cross-brand substitutes will read as a different color.
