Medium Fleshtone is genuinely hard to match: no other brand has a same-finish equivalent close enough to swap, and the nearest color anywhere, AK Interactive Nº6 Earth Yellow (Fs 30257) at 88 percent, is a different finish. Medium Fleshtone is a mid-tone moderate orange with a warm undertone. For a true match, stick with the original; cross-brand substitutes will read as a different color.
Medium Fleshtone equivalents in other ranges
Medium Fleshtone is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.
Closest AK Interactive equivalent: AK Interactive Nº6 Earth Yellow (Fs 30257), a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.5), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
Nearest in the Two Thin Coats catalog: Two Thin Coats Dry Rust Brown, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.2), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
Best Humbrol option: Humbrol Copper, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.4), but it is a metallic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
From Tamiya: Tamiya Copper, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.4), but it is a metallic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
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 2.5 rather than an obvious shift.
