Army Painter to Two Thin CoatsEvery Army Painter paint with its nearest Two Thin Coats cousin: 33 near matches, 159 safe substitutes, the rest approximate.
Every Army Painter paint here sits beside the Two Thin Coats paint closest to it, scored by CIEDE2000 colour distance: under ΔE 3 the two read as one colour on the model, under ΔE 7 the substitute is safe, and past that you are reading a starting point rather than a match. Where Two Thin Coats has no paint of the same finish at all, the nearest colour of another finish stands in, flagged cross-finish: an opaque, a wash and a contrast paint behave differently however close the swatches sit. The same comparison runs the other way at Two Thin Coats to Army Painter.
