Vallejo to Reaper Paint Converter
Vallejo Game Color and Reaper Master Series both cover broad hobby palettes, making them natural companions in a mixed paint collection. If you own a Vallejo collection and need Reaper equivalents — whether because Reaper is more accessible locally, you're following a Reaper-based tutorial, or you want to expand your range without duplicating colours — a direct colour comparison is far more reliable than matching by name alone.
Our Vallejo to Reaper converter maps every Vallejo Game Color paint to its nearest Reaper Master Series equivalent using colour-distance matching across Core Colors, Bones, and HD lines. Results are ranked by proximity so you can immediately see whether you have a near-perfect substitute or a close-but-shifted alternative.

Frequently asked questions
What is the closest Reaper equivalent to a Vallejo paint?

How do Vallejo and Reaper paints compare?

The primary view uses Vallejo Game Color. Switch to Model Color using the brand selector in the full comparison chart for extended coverage matched against the full Reaper catalogue.
