Paint Equivalents

Golden to Tamiya paint conversion chart

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

197 of the 346 Golden colours below have an equivalent in Tamiya within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 60 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 4.2. The 149 gaps are not spread evenly: 35 of them are reds, so that is the corner of the Golden range Tamiya does not answer.
