73 of the 213 Apple Barrel colours below have an equivalent in Humbrol within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 7 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 6.7. The 140 gaps are not spread evenly: 25 of them are pink-reds, so that is the corner of the Apple Barrel range Humbrol does not answer.
