Paint Equivalents

Liquitex to Revell paint conversion chart

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

50 of the 105 Liquitex colours below have an equivalent in Revell within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 5 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 5.3. The 55 gaps are not spread evenly: 11 of them are oranges, so that is the corner of the Liquitex range Revell 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.
