Duncan to Mr. Hobby paint conversion chart
Every Duncan paint with its closest Mr. Hobby equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 180 rows, sorted by name.
118 of the 180 Duncan colours below have an equivalent in Mr. Hobby within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 23 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 4.2. The 62 gaps are not spread evenly: 13 of them are oranges, so that is the corner of the Duncan range Mr. Hobby does not answer.
