Humbrol to Vallejo Conversion Chart

Every Humbrol paint we hold a measured swatch for, with its closest Vallejo equivalent — ranked by CIEDE2000 perceptual colour distance, badged with how close the match actually is, and priced from the shops we track.

This chart shows the closest buyable match by measured colour — it is not an official manufacturer equivalence chart. For military-standard colours (RAF, RLM, FS), check the maker’s own documented equivalents where the exact standard matters.

92 of 92 charted Humbrol colours have a Vallejo match inside our close-match bar .

Matches come from the same measured-swatch engine behind every paint page on this site — CIEDE2000 distance, with a buyable pot preferred over an unbuyable one where two are perceptually the same. Nothing on this chart is hand-paired. Screen colours are indicative; test paints in person when precision matters.

Prices were last checked 25 Sep and can change — the retailer's own page always has the final say. Affiliate links — how we make money.
