Paint Equivalents

Foundry to Tamiya paint conversion chart

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

177 of the 360 Foundry colours below have an equivalent in Tamiya within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 38 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 5.1. The 183 gaps are not spread evenly: 39 of them are oranges, so that is the corner of the Foundry range Tamiya does not answer.
