Italeri to Tamiya paint conversion chart
Every Italeri paint with its closest Tamiya equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 96 rows, sorted by name.
65 of the 96 Italeri colours below have an equivalent in Tamiya within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 16 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 4.3. The 31 gaps are not spread evenly: 8 of them are yellows, so that is the corner of the Italeri range Tamiya does not answer.
