Paint Equivalents

Tom Color to Warcolours paint conversion chart

Every Tom Color paint with its closest Warcolours equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 271 rows, sorted by name.

109 of the 271 Tom Color colours below have an equivalent in Warcolours within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 16 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 5.9. The 162 gaps are not spread evenly: 42 of them are yellows, so that is the corner of the Tom Color range Warcolours 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.
