Paint Equivalents

Tamiya to Arteza paint conversion chart

Every Tamiya paint with its closest Arteza equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 320 rows, sorted by name.

137 of the 320 Tamiya colours below have an equivalent in Arteza within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 52 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 5.7. The 183 gaps are not spread evenly: 44 of them are yellows, so that is the corner of the Tamiya range Arteza does not answer.
