How to find paint by hex code
Paste any hex colour code into the search field and the tool instantly compares it against every paint in the database, returning the closest real-world matches ranked by colour distance. You can enter a full six-digit code like #7A1F1F or a short three-digit code like #A33 — both work. The distance score next to each result tells you how close the match is: green (under 10) is a very close match, amber (10–25) is moderate, and red (over 25) is a noticeable difference.
This is the fastest way to go from a digital colour to a physical paint. Copy a hex value from a piece of concept art, a screenshot, a brand palette, or your image editor's colour picker, and find the nearest equivalent across Citadel, Vallejo, Army Painter, Scale75, Pro Acryl, AK Interactive, Reaper and more. Every match is a real, buyable paint, so you can move straight from a colour value to the pot on the shelf.
Tips for an accurate hex match
Screen colours shift with monitor calibration and image compression, so treat the closest match as a strong starting point and compare the swatches side by side before buying. For a colour you can see but cannot copy as a hex value — such as a shade on a photo of a painted model — use the Image Colour Picker to sample it directly, then return here or to the Colour Matcher for results.
How do I find a paint from a hex code?
Paste any 3- or 6-digit hex code (for example #7A1F1F) into the search field. The tool compares it to every paint in the database and instantly returns the closest real-world matches, ranked by colour distance across Citadel, Vallejo, Army Painter and 20+ other brands.
What is a hex code?
A hex code is a six-character code (like #1F4E79) that represents a colour by its red, green and blue components. It is the standard way colours are defined in digital art, design software and on the web, making it a precise starting point for finding a matching physical paint.
How accurate is hex-to-paint matching?
Matches use RGB colour-distance across our paint database. A distance under about 10 is a very close match, 10–25 is moderate, and over 25 is a noticeable difference. Hex values are derived from community and digital references, so they are accurate guides but can vary from physical paint due to opacity, finish and lighting.
Can I match a colour from digital art or a screenshot?
Yes. Copy the hex code from your image editor, colour picker or design tool and paste it here to find the nearest miniature paints. To pick a colour directly from an image instead, use our Image Colour Picker.
Which paint brands are included?
Over 20 brands and 1,000+ paints, including Citadel Base and Layer, Vallejo Game Color and Model Color, Army Painter Warpaints, Scale75, Pro Acryl, AK Interactive, Reaper and more.
