Reaper to Tamiya paint conversion chart

Every Reaper paint with its closest Tamiya equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 438 rows, sorted by name.

231 of the 438 Reaper colours below have an equivalent in Tamiya within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 53 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 4.7. The 207 gaps are not spread evenly: 40 of them are oranges, so that is the corner of the Reaper range Tamiya does not answer.
