Color Matcher

There is no greater halt to a painter's righteous fury than a missing color. When the ancient scrolls demand Mephiston Red but your stores are dry, the quest does not end! The Color Matcher is your oracle, a font of knowledge that reveals the secret names of equivalent paints across all the great houses. More paints for the paint god!

Present the paint you wish to replace, or scribe a HEX code from the ether, and the Forge will reveal its closest brethren. For the warlock who trusts only their own power, you can command the Matcher to consult only from your "Painter's Hoard." The arcane "distance" value shows you the purity of the match, ensuring your legions march to war under unified and unyielding colors. Never again shall your crusade be stopped for a mere lack of pigment!

How to use the Colour Matcher

Select a paint from the search dropdown or type a HEX code to find its closest matches across all 1,000+ paints in the database. The distance value shows how similar each match is: green (under 10) is a very close match, amber (10–25) is moderate, and red (over 25) is a significant colour difference.

Enable "Only show matches from My Hoard" to restrict results to paints you already own — useful for deciding which of your existing paints best substitutes for one you've run out of. You can add or remove paints from your collection directly from the match list without leaving this page.

The colour matcher works across all major miniature paint brands: Citadel Base, Citadel Layer, Vallejo Game Color, Vallejo Model Color, Army Painter Warpaints, Scale75, Pro Acryl, Green Stuff World, AMMO Mig, Reaper, and more. Use it to find equivalents when switching brands, substituting discontinued paints, or building a brand-agnostic paint collection.
