P3 to Tamiya paint conversion chart
Every P3 paint with its closest Tamiya equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 131 rows, sorted by name.
63 of the 131 P3 colours below have an equivalent in Tamiya within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 13 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 5.1. The 68 gaps are not spread evenly: 20 of them are yellows, so that is the corner of the P3 range Tamiya does not answer.
