TT Combat to Scale75 Paint Converter
Scale75's Games and Artist lines are known for a heavily pigmented matt finish that behaves quite differently from most wargaming paints. Painters moving between them and TT Combat are usually chasing that finish on specific colours rather than replacing a whole collection.
Our TT Combat to Scale75 converter maps every TT Combat paint to its closest Scale75 equivalent. Scale75's Games and Artist lines are known for dense pigment and a strongly matt finish that suits blending and non-metallic metal work. 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 133 Scale75 colours. 21 land within a very close match (a colour distance of 12 or less) and 13 sit beyond 40, which are the ones worth testing on a palette before you commit. The median distance across the range is 21.9.

Frequently asked questions
What is the closest Scale75 equivalent to a TT Combat paint?
Our converter measures the hex value of every TT Combat paint against the full Scale75 range and returns the four nearest options, ranked by colour distance. Of the 144 TT Combat paints in our database, 21 have a Scale75 match within a colour distance of 12.
Are TT Combat and Scale75 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 Scale75 match?
The two ranges were developed independently, so exact matches are the exception rather than the rule. 13 of the 144 TT Combat paints here sit more than 40 colour-distance units from their nearest Scale75 option, which is why every result shows its score and hex swatch so you can judge the compromise yourself.
