Frequently asked questions

Can I use Citadel paints instead of Army Painter?

Yes. This chart lists the closest Citadel equivalent for every Army Painter paint in the BrushForge database, scored with the ΔE2000 color-difference formula. A ΔE below 2 is practically indistinguishable on a miniature, and below 5 reads the same on the tabletop. 32% of Army Painter paints here have a Citadel equivalent with ΔE 5 or less.

How accurate is this chart?

Matches are computed in LAB color space with the industry-standard CIEDE2000 formula, the same engine the BrushForge app uses. Metallics are only matched to metallics, and washes to washes. Colors shown are screen approximations of real paint.

What does the ΔE number mean?

ΔE2000 measures how different two colors look to the human eye. 0-2: nearly identical. 2-5: close match. 6-10: noticeable difference. Above 10: a different color. Aim for ΔE below 5 for a solid substitute.

Why is a paint missing from this chart?

This chart lists brush-on, metallic and wash paints with verified color data. Airbrush lines, sprays, primers and technical products are not shown on the web. The BrushForge app carries the full database of 4,300+ paints, including those ranges, and it grows with every update.
