Paint Equivalents

Citadel to Foundry paint conversion chart

Every Citadel paint with its closest Foundry equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 451 rows, sorted by name.

334 of the 451 Citadel colours below have an equivalent in Foundry within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 58 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 3.6. The 117 gaps are not spread evenly: 24 of them are blues, so that is the corner of the Citadel range Foundry does not answer.
