Monument Hobbies' Pro Acryl range has built a devoted following for its buttery consistency, strong coverage, and high pigment load — qualities that make it a popular upgrade for painters moving away from Games Workshop's Citadel paints. If you want to rebuild a Citadel-based palette in Pro Acryl, or substitute a Pro Acryl colour into a GW-format recipe, knowing the closest equivalent for each Citadel pot removes the guesswork.
Our Citadel to Pro Acryl converter maps every Citadel Base and Layer paint to its nearest Pro Acryl equivalent using exact colour-distance calculations. Because Pro Acryl's palette is built around clean, mixable base colours, most Citadel paints translate cleanly, while a few of Citadel's more specialised tones land on the nearest available Pro Acryl colour — the distance score shows you exactly how close each match is.
The example table below shows common Citadel to Pro Acryl conversions with colour swatches. Open the full comparison chart to search any Citadel paint by name and see its closest Pro Acryl matches ranked by accuracy. For the reverse direction, see our Pro Acryl equivalents converter.
