Paint Equivalents

Golden to Citadel paint conversion chart

Every Golden paint with its closest Citadel equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 346 rows, sorted by name.

272 of the 346 Golden colours below have an equivalent in Citadel within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 78 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 3.5. The 74 gaps are not spread evenly: 21 of them are blues, so that is the corner of the Golden range Citadel does not answer.
