Full Paint Comparison
For the true Loremaster of color who requires all knowledge, we present the Great Codex of Pigments. This is not for the faint of heart; it is a grand muster roll where every paint in the known universe is pitted against its brethren to reveal its closest allies. The machine spirit must perform its rites to complete this grand calculation, so patience is required.
Once the sacred data is rendered, you can scry the endless lists, filtering the results by paint name or clan to find the perfect substitute for any color in your grand strategy. The Codex Astartes may not support such deviations from standard issue, but victory demands flexibility. Behold, the full tapestry of chromatic warfare, ready for your command!

How to use the Full Paint Comparison Chart
Select a brand from the chip selector to load every paint in that range and calculate its closest matches across all other brands in the database. The calculation runs entirely in your browser — a progress bar shows how many paints have been processed — and results appear paginated as soon as it completes. The first run takes a moment because it compares thousands of colour pairs; once built, filtering is instant.
Use the name, brand, or paint code filter to narrow results to a specific paint or colour family, and enable Only show matches from My Hoard to see which of your owned paints is closest to each source paint — a fast way to spot gaps in your cross-brand coverage. Distance chips are colour-coded green for close, amber for moderate, and red for distant. Any source paint can be added to your Hoard directly from the table. This is the most complete paint conversion chart for miniature painters, comparing every Citadel, Vallejo, Army Painter, Scale75, and Pro Acryl paint against every other paint in the database.
What brands are included in the paint comparison chart?
Many brands and 1,000+ paints — Citadel Base and Layer, Vallejo Game Color and Model Color, Army Painter Warpaints, Scale75, Pro Acryl, AK Interactive, Reaper Master Series, Green Stuff World, AMMO Mig, and more.
How do I use the paint conversion chart?
Select a source brand to load all its paints, then filter by name. Each row shows a paint alongside its closest matches from every other brand, ranked by colour distance — lower distance means a closer match.
How are the closest matches calculated?
Every paint is compared to every candidate using RGB Euclidean colour distance, and the four nearest results are kept and sorted by accuracy.
Can I see Citadel to Vallejo conversions specifically?
Yes. Select Citadel Base or Layer as the source to see every Citadel paint with its closest Vallejo, Army Painter, Scale75, and other equivalents side by side. The dedicated Citadel to Vallejo converter page gives a focused view.
Why does it take a second to load?
The chart compares every paint against the full catalogue — thousands of calculations. It runs once in your browser, after which filtering is instant.
Is the paint comparison chart free to use?
Yes — completely free, no account required. All colour matching runs in your browser using our open paint database.
