Every Revell paint with its closest Citadel equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 87 rows, sorted by name.
66 of the 87 Revell colours below have an equivalent in Citadel 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 3.6. The 21 gaps are not spread evenly: 7 of them are blue-greens, so that is the corner of the Revell range Citadel does not answer.
