Duncan to Tamiya paint conversion chart

Every Duncan paint with its closest Tamiya equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 180 rows, sorted by name.

77 of the 180 Duncan colours below have an equivalent in Tamiya within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 16 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 5.5. The 103 gaps are not spread evenly: 22 of them are oranges, so that is the corner of the Duncan range Tamiya does not answer.
