Arteza to FolkArt paint conversion chart

Every Arteza paint with its closest FolkArt equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 88 rows, sorted by name.

58 of the 88 Arteza colours below have an equivalent in FolkArt within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 9 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 3.9. The 30 gaps are not spread evenly: 7 of them are pink-reds, so that is the corner of the Arteza range FolkArt does not answer.

How close is close enough? Reading the ΔE column
