Color-wise this is a moderate, very light orange leaning warm. No shortage of substitutes here, Linen from Humbrol matches at 89 percent and 7 brands carry a strong same-finish near-match. For modelling, drop to Light Flesh in the recesses and step up to Off-White on the edges, both Vallejo paints. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
Ivory equivalents, brand by brand
No brand clones Ivory outright, but 1 range comes close enough to swap. The best candidate from each catalog:
- Closest Humbrol equivalent: Humbrol Linen, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.2).
- From Citadel: Citadel Typhon Ash, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.2).
- AK Interactive's closest color: AK Interactive Ivory, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.4).
- Nearest in the Scale75 catalog: Scale75 Victorian Flesh, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.4).
- Best The Army Painter option: The Army Painter Bony Spikes, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.6).
- From Two Thin Coats: Two Thin Coats Trooper White, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 4.0).
The honest caveat: Humbrol Linen dries slightly darker than Ivory, so expect recess shading and edge highlights to shift with it.
