Paint Equivalents

Mission Models to Humbrol paint conversion chart

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

84 of the 201 Mission Models colours below have an equivalent in Humbrol within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 24 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 5.6. The 117 gaps are not spread evenly: 25 of them are yellows, so that is the corner of the Mission Models range Humbrol does not answer.
