Paint Equivalents

Tamiya to Scale75 paint conversion chart

Every Tamiya paint with its closest Scale75 equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 298 rows, sorted by name.

229 of the 298 Tamiya colours below have an equivalent in Scale75 within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 89 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 3.1. The 69 gaps are not spread evenly: 21 of them are greens, so that is the corner of the Tamiya range Scale75 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.
