Vallejo to Two Thin Coats Paint Converter
Two Thin Coats' 123 core colours are organised into shadow, midtone and highlight (S/M/H) triads specifically so a whole miniature can be painted from one small, curated range — which makes it a popular pickup for Vallejo painters who want a faster, more structured workflow for tutorials without abandoning the paints already on their desk.
Our Vallejo to Two Thin Coats converter maps every Vallejo Game Color paint to its closest Two Thin Coats equivalent, using Trans Atlantis Games' own published conversions where one exists and measured colour distance for the rest. Because Two Thin Coats is a smaller, purpose-built range spread across three waves, several Vallejo shades will land on the same Two Thin Coats pot — the distance score tells you which of those are a genuinely close fit.
Measured across the full catalogue, 93 Vallejo paints are compared with 123 Two Thin Coats colours. 20 resolve to a very close match (distance 12 or lower) and 10 fall past 40 and involve a real compromise. The median sits at 19.7, which gives a sense of how well the two ranges line up overall.

Frequently asked questions
What is the closest Two Thin Coats equivalent to a Vallejo paint?
Our converter measures the hex value of every Vallejo paint against the full Two Thin Coats range and returns the four nearest options, ranked by colour distance. Of the 93 Vallejo paints in our database, 20 have a Two Thin Coats match within a colour distance of 12.
Are Vallejo and Two Thin Coats 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 Two Thin Coats match?
The two ranges were developed independently, so exact matches are the exception rather than the rule. 10 of the 93 Vallejo paints here sit more than 40 colour-distance units from their nearest Two Thin Coats option, which is why every result shows its score and hex swatch so you can judge the compromise yourself.
