Humbrol to Mig paint conversion chart
Every Humbrol paint with its closest Mig equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 112 rows, sorted by name.
68 of the 112 Humbrol colours below have an equivalent in Mig within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 21 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 4.2. The 44 gaps are not spread evenly: 10 of them are oranges, so that is the corner of the Humbrol range Mig does not answer.
