AMMO by Mig Jimenez Equivalents — Citadel Conversion Chart
AMMO by Mig Jimenez is a respected paint brand used primarily in scale modelling, military dioramas, and vehicle painting. If you're transitioning from scale modelling into miniature painting, or want to use AMMO paints alongside a Citadel collection, knowing which Citadel Base colours sit closest to each AMMO pot is the fastest way to bridge the two ranges. AMMO's colour names are largely historical and military references, making colour-distance matching far more useful than name comparison.
Our AMMO by Mig Jimenez equivalents converter maps every AMMO paint to its nearest Citadel Base equivalent using RGB colour-distance calculations. Because AMMO's palette skews toward muted, historically accurate military tones rather than fantasy hobby colours, some matches will involve a clear tonal shift — the colour distance score shows you exactly how close the nearest Citadel option is.
The table below shows representative AMMO to Citadel conversions across common tones including greens, oranges, blue-greys, and earth tones. Open the full comparison chart to search any AMMO paint by name and see its four closest Citadel equivalents. The colour distance value helps you decide whether a match is close enough for your project or whether you're better off mixing.
