Paint Equivalents

Mission Models to FolkArt paint conversion chart

Every Mission Models paint with its closest FolkArt equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 201 rows, sorted by name.

167 of the 201 Mission Models colours below have an equivalent in FolkArt within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 38 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 3.2. The 34 gaps are not spread evenly: 8 of them are yellows, so that is the corner of the Mission Models range FolkArt does not answer.

One side of this chart is a craft or fine-art range: what these matches promise, and where a craft bottle belongs on a model
