Vallejo to Scale75 Paint Converter
Scale75's artist-grade pigments and very matte finish make them a popular upgrade for Vallejo painters who want more depth in blending and NMM work. While Vallejo Game Color's thinner consistency excels for layering and glazing, Scale75's intense pigment saturation adds a richness to final highlight layers that sets display-quality work apart. Knowing which Scale75 paint sits closest to each Vallejo colour is the first step to building a complementary Scale75 palette alongside an existing Vallejo collection.
Our Vallejo to Scale75 converter maps every Vallejo Game Color to its nearest Scale75 Games or Scale75 Artist Series equivalent using colour-distance matching. Scale75's palette leans toward more muted, realistic tones compared to Vallejo's broader range, so while most standard colours translate well, some Vallejo shades will involve a deliberate tonal shift — the distance score tells you exactly how close each match is.
