TT Combat to Vallejo Paint Converter
Painters who buy TT Combat for the price and the pot size often keep Vallejo on the shelf for its sheer catalogue depth. With 144 TT Combat colours on one side and the combined Game Color and Model Color ranges on the other, almost every TT Combat shade has a Vallejo counterpart within easy reach.
Our TT Combat to Vallejo converter maps every TT Combat paint to its closest Vallejo equivalent. Vallejo's Game Color line is aimed at fantasy and wargaming while Model Color comes out of historical modelling; together they give the broadest colour coverage of any brand in our database. TT Combat's own range is 144 colours strong, sold in 17 ml pots. The converter compares hex values directly, so results reflect measured colour rather than marketing names, and the four nearest options are always shown.
Measured across the full catalogue, 144 TT Combat paints are compared with 337 Vallejo colours. 61 resolve to a very close match (distance 12 or lower) and 5 fall past 40 and involve a real compromise. The median sits at 13.6, which gives a sense of how well the two ranges line up overall.

Frequently asked questions
What is the closest Vallejo equivalent to a TT Combat paint?
Our converter measures the hex value of every TT Combat paint against the full Vallejo range and returns the four nearest options, ranked by colour distance. Of the 144 TT Combat paints in our database, 61 have a Vallejo match within a colour distance of 12.
Are TT Combat and Vallejo 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 Vallejo match?
The two ranges were developed independently, so exact matches are the exception rather than the rule. 5 of the 144 TT Combat paints here sit more than 40 colour-distance units from their nearest Vallejo option, which is why every result shows its score and hex swatch so you can judge the compromise yourself.
