Lustful Purple is a mid-tone muted purple with a cool undertone. It builds a smooth gradient with Blue Violet underneath and Demon Blood on the highlights, all in the Vallejo line. This color is somewhat distinctive: 2 brands offer a strong same-finish match, Two Thin Coats Sorcerer's Cloak closest at 90 percent. A cross-brand swap will get you most of the way, but eyeball it against the original first.
Lustful Purple equivalents in other ranges
No brand clones Lustful Purple outright, but 2 ranges come close enough to swap. The best candidate from each catalog:
- Closest Two Thin Coats equivalent: Two Thin Coats Sorcerer's Cloak, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.1).
- Nearest in the The Army Painter catalog: The Army Painter Violet Coven, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.1).
- Best Monument Pro Acryl option: Monument Pro Acryl Faded Plum, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.7).
- From Citadel: Citadel Kakophoni Purple, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 6.3).
- AK Interactive's closest color: AK Interactive Wwi German Mauve, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 7.6).
The drift here is spread thinly across hue, lightness and saturation rather than leaning one way, so the mismatch reads as a general haze at delta E 2.1 rather than an obvious shift.
