TT Combat to Reaper Paint Converter
Reaper's Master Series is built around painting triads, where a base, a shadow and a highlight are formulated to work together. TT Combat's range is organised more loosely, so mapping it onto Reaper is a practical way to find ready-made shading and highlighting partners for colours you already own.
Our TT Combat to Reaper converter maps every TT Combat paint to its closest Reaper equivalent. Reaper's Master Series spans the Core Colors, Bones and HD sub-ranges — an unusually deep catalogue organised around matched painting triads. TT Combat's own range is 144 colours strong, sold in 17 ml pots. Every match is computed with RGB colour distance rather than by eye or by colour family, and each result carries a numeric score so you can judge how close it really is.
All 144 TT Combat paints in our database are measured against 712 Reaper colours. 68 land within a very close match (a colour distance of 12 or less) and 2 sit beyond 40, which are the ones worth testing on a palette before you commit. The median distance across the range is 12.4.

Frequently asked questions
What is the closest Reaper equivalent to a TT Combat paint?
Our converter measures the hex value of every TT Combat paint against the full Reaper range and returns the four nearest options, ranked by colour distance. Of the 144 TT Combat paints in our database, 68 have a Reaper match within a colour distance of 12.
Are TT Combat and Reaper 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 TT Combat paint have an exact Reaper match?
The two ranges were developed independently, so exact matches are the exception rather than the rule. 2 of the 144 TT Combat paints here sit more than 40 colour-distance units from their nearest Reaper option, which is why every result shows its score and hex swatch so you can judge the compromise yourself.
