Vallejo Game Color - Citadel and Warhammer Equivalents

This reference table lists the official Citadel and Warhammer equivalent for every Vallejo Game Color paint we stock, sourced directly from Vallejo's published Game Color chart (CC266-R02). Where no official equivalent is listed, this is noted clearly.

These equivalents are useful as a starting point when switching between ranges, but paint colours vary between manufacturers and the match may not be exact. We recommend comparing paints physically before substituting on a finished model. Citadel occasionally renames or reformulates paints, so some names may differ from current packaging.
