Liquitex to Mig paint conversion chart

Every Liquitex paint with its closest Mig equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 105 rows, sorted by name.

61 of the 105 Liquitex colours below have an equivalent in Mig 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 44 gaps are not spread evenly: 8 of them are blues, so that is the corner of the Liquitex range Mig does not answer.
