Paint Equivalents

Foundry to Citadel paint conversion chart

Every Foundry paint with its closest Citadel equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 360 rows, sorted by name.

254 of the 360 Foundry colours below have an equivalent in Citadel within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 39 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 4.1. The 106 gaps are not spread evenly: 21 of them are yellows, so that is the corner of the Foundry range Citadel does not answer.
