Paint Equivalents

Foundry to Humbrol paint conversion chart

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

131 of the 360 Foundry colours below have an equivalent in Humbrol within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 28 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 6.2. The 229 gaps are not spread evenly: 43 of them are blues, so that is the corner of the Foundry range Humbrol does not answer.
