Paint Equivalents

Mission Models to Foundry paint conversion chart

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

157 of the 201 Mission Models colours below have an equivalent in Foundry within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 34 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 3.4. The 44 gaps are not spread evenly: 8 of them are greens, so that is the corner of the Mission Models range Foundry 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.
