True Blood is a glossy blood effect, not a standard opaque red. The closest compatible blood-effect substitute is Blood for the Blood God (Citadel (Games Workshop)) (ΔE 13.3).
Blood for the Blood God is a wet blood effect. The important checks are gloss, translucency, red intensity, and the way the effect stays fresh-looking after drying.
That makes a standard red paint an incomplete substitute, even when the average swatch colour is near.
Current best compatible effect: Blood for the Blood God (Citadel (Games Workshop)) – ΔE 13.3. Closest colour-only result: Dry Blood (Army Painter) – ΔE 13.2.
