Paint conversion charts / AK Interactive to The Army Painter

AK Interactive to The Army Painter conversion chart

The closest The Army Painter match for every AK Interactive paint. Computed matches are graded from the CIELAB Delta E colour distance: lower ΔE means a closer colour, and anything under 3 is effectively indistinguishable on a model. Rows marked Painter-verified are graded by a painter who compared the paints instead, so their ΔE is shown for reference only. Tick a paint to start a shopping list.

No paint on this chart matches that filter.

* Painter-verified rows show colour distance for reference only. Their grade comes from a painter comparing the actual paints — coverage, finish and how a colour behaves on a model all move a real match away from its arithmetic distance.

13 AK Interactive paints have no close The Army Painter counterpart — usually metallics, washes and technical paints, which only match within their own category.
