Paint Equivalents

Revell to Mission Models paint conversion chart

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

59 of the 87 Revell colours below have an equivalent in Mission Models within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 20 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 3.8. The 28 gaps are not spread evenly: 7 of them are oranges, so that is the corner of the Revell range Mission Models does not answer.

How close is close enough? Reading the ΔE column
