Matching it is straightforward: AK Interactive Light Flesh lands at 85 percent in the same finish, and 3 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. Color-wise this is a moderate, light orange leaning warm. For modelling, drop to Iraqi Sand in the recesses and step up to Dark Sand on the edges, both Vallejo paints. Treat it as an easy swap, just confirm the finish type matches before you commit.
Pale Flesh equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Vallejo Pale Flesh cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest AK Interactive equivalent: AK Interactive Light Flesh, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.1).
From Two Thin Coats: Two Thin Coats Elven Skin, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.5).
The Army Painter's closest color: The Army Painter Leopard Stone Skin, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.9).
Nearest in the Revell catalog: Revell Flesh/Hautfarbe, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.8).
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 3.1 rather than an obvious shift.
