Army Painter to Two Thin Coats Paint Converter
Army Painter's catalogue dwarfs Two Thin Coats' curated 123-colour range, so this conversion is a narrowing exercise more than a like-for-like swap — useful mainly for painters who want to follow a Duncan Rhodes tutorial and need to know which of their existing Warpaints already covers a Two Thin Coats colour called for in the recipe.
Our Army Painter to Two Thin Coats converter maps every Army Painter Warpaints paint to its closest Two Thin Coats equivalent, checking Trans Atlantis Games' own published conversions first and measured colour distance everywhere else. Two Thin Coats spreads its 123 core colours across three waves as shadow, midtone and highlight (S/M/H) triads, so several Warpaints shades will converge on the same pot — the distance score shows which of those groupings are genuinely close.
The comparison runs 250 Army Painter paints against 123 Two Thin Coats colours. 47 come back as very close matches at a distance of 12 or under, while 25 exceed 40 and should be treated as approximations. Median distance across the whole range is 22.6.

Are Army Painter and Two Thin Coats paints compatible on the same miniature?
Yes. Both are water-based acrylics and can be layered over one another without any special preparation. Mixing brands on a single model is common practice; the main thing to watch is finish, since ranges vary in how matt they dry.
Why doesn’t every Army Painter paint have an exact Two Thin Coats match?
The two ranges were developed independently, so exact matches are the exception rather than the rule. 25 of the 250 Army Painter paints here sit more than 40 colour-distance units from their nearest Two Thin Coats option, which is why every result shows its score and hex swatch so you can judge the compromise yourself.
