Paint Equivalents

Liquitex to Mission Models paint conversion chart

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

54 of the 105 Liquitex colours below have an equivalent in Mission Models within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 12 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 4.8. The 51 gaps are not spread evenly: 11 of them are oranges, so that is the corner of the Liquitex range Mission Models does not answer.

How close is close enough? Reading the ΔE column

Moving a whole recipe across takes more than one pot. These search the boxed sets each range is sold in.
