As a paint, Off White (72.101) requires specific handling that affects how any substitute performs. The colour sits in the neutral grey range.

Looking at the surrounding palette matters because a near match can still push the finished model warmer, colder, or flatter than expected.
That combination of colour distance, finish, and recipe context is what makes a paint substitute reliable on an actual miniature.
