§ PAINT · 11th edition
Vallejo to CitadelEvery Vallejo paint with its nearest Citadel cousin: 49 near matches, 179 safe substitutes, the rest approximate.
Every Vallejo paint here sits beside the Citadel 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. The same comparison runs the other way at Citadel to Vallejo.
Every range on this page has a hub of its own: Vallejo Game Air, Vallejo Game Color, Vallejo Mecha Color, Vallejo Metal Color, Vallejo Wash, Vallejo Xpress, Citadel Base, Citadel Contrast, Citadel Layer and Citadel Shade. For one paint at a time, with up to three alternates in every range, use the Paint Matcher.
