Army Painter conversion chart for Citadel paints

This Army Painter conversion chart maps every Citadel paint in our dataset to its closest Warpaints equivalent, each with a match-quality rating. Use it as a full reference when a tutorial calls for a Citadel colour you'd rather paint in The Army Painter. Every row links to the full conversion.

Matches are computed with CIEDE2000 from approximate swatch colours — close, never exact. Confirm against a physical swatch before buying. See the conversion guide for how to read match quality.
