Paint Equivalents

FolkArt to Tamiya paint conversion chart

Every FolkArt paint with its closest Tamiya equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 435 rows, sorted by name.

215 of the 435 FolkArt colours below have an equivalent in Tamiya within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 27 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 5.0. The 220 gaps are not spread evenly: 36 of them are oranges, so that is the corner of the FolkArt range Tamiya does not answer.
