I'm looking for a Contrast equivalent of Agrax Earthshade for a project I'm working on. From Reddit there's suggestions for Guilliman Flesh (which I currently have), Cygor Brown and Snakebite Leather. Does anyone have any other suggestions or can recommend one of those already listed? Thanks.

If you want strong brown shading for a pin wash, an oil or enamel wash like the Tamiya recommended in that link is really the way to go.
In the Contrast line, Cygor Brown is the closest, but it is a bit more red than Agrax. With a surfactant mixed in it might flow a little better, especially if applied over gloss varnish.
Be warned that some of the Contrasts are strong. Wyldwood is one of them. I've been doing a 3-4:1 ratio for Wyldwood.
I did the fine-lining for parts of this using Wyldwood:
Spoiler:
Juan Hidalgo's 'Eavy Contrast World Eaters video has almost the exact brass technique I was looking for. He uses a 1:4 mix of Wyldwood to Contrast Medium and should work on my Novokh Overlord's red armour as well as the bright brass cloak.
