Skrag Brown vs Light Brown

How close are they?

ΔE 2.2, very close: most people won’t see a difference side by side. Our swatches for the two are almost the same. They are different kinds of paint: Citadel Skrag Brown is an opaque base/layer paint and Green Stuff World Light Brown is an ink, glaze or transparent paint, so they won’t behave the same on the model even where the colour is close.
