Paint Equivalents

Tamiya to Italeri paint conversion chart

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

168 of the 320 Tamiya colours below have an equivalent in Italeri within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 66 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 4.9. The 152 gaps are not spread evenly: 30 of them are greens, so that is the corner of the Tamiya range Italeri does not answer.
