Paint Equivalents

Citadel to Vallejo paint conversion chart

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

409 of the 451 Citadel colours below have an equivalent in Vallejo within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 158 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 2.6. The 42 gaps are not spread evenly: 13 of them are greens, so that is the corner of the Citadel range Vallejo does not answer.
