Vallejo to TT Combat Paint Converter
Vallejo's catalogue is far larger than TT Combat's, so converting from Vallejo to TT Combat is a narrowing exercise — many Vallejo shades will collapse onto the same TT Combat pot. The distance score matters more here than in most conversions, because it tells you which of those collisions are genuinely close.
Our Vallejo to TT Combat converter maps every Vallejo paint to its closest TT Combat equivalent. TT Combat's own range is 144 colours strong, sold in 17 ml pots. 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. Rather than guessing from colour families, the tool measures the distance between hex values and sorts the results so the closest available option always comes first.
All 337 Vallejo paints in our database are measured against 144 TT Combat colours. 89 land within a very close match (a colour distance of 12 or less) and 9 sit beyond 40, which are the ones worth testing on a palette before you commit. The median distance across the range is 16.7.

Frequently asked questions
What is the closest TT Combat equivalent to a Vallejo paint?
Our converter measures the hex value of every Vallejo paint against the full TT Combat range and returns the four nearest options, ranked by colour distance. Of the 337 Vallejo paints in our database, 89 have a TT Combat match within a colour distance of 12.
Are Vallejo and TT Combat 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 Vallejo paint have an exact TT Combat match?
The two ranges were developed independently, so exact matches are the exception rather than the rule. 9 of the 337 Vallejo paints here sit more than 40 colour-distance units from their nearest TT Combat option, which is why every result shows its score and hex swatch so you can judge the compromise yourself.
