Paint Equivalents

Revell to Liquitex paint conversion chart

Every Revell paint with its closest Liquitex equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 87 rows, sorted by name.

35 of the 87 Revell colours below have an equivalent in Liquitex within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 7 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 5.7. The 52 gaps are not spread evenly: 13 of them are neutrals, so that is the corner of the Revell range Liquitex 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.
