Liquitex to Duncan paint conversion chart
Every Liquitex paint with its closest Duncan equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 105 rows, sorted by name.
42 of the 105 Liquitex colours below have an equivalent in Duncan 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 5.7. The 63 gaps are not spread evenly: 11 of them are greens, so that is the corner of the Liquitex range Duncan does not answer.
