Every Apple Barrel paint with its closest Tom Color equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 213 rows, sorted by name.

90 of the 213 Apple Barrel colours below have an equivalent in Tom Color within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 15 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 5.4. The 123 gaps are not spread evenly: 24 of them are blues, so that is the corner of the Apple Barrel range Tom Color does not answer.
