Frequently asked
What is the closest equivalent to Humbrol Brass?
The closest same-finish match is The Army Painter Greedy Gold at 96% color similarity.
What finish is Brass?
Brass is a metallic paint with a gold tone and a reflective finish. Because the shine comes from metal flake, a flat paint can match the color and still be wrong for the job, which is why cross-finish matches here are references rather than swaps.
