Paint conversion charts / AK Interactive to Citadel
AK Interactive to Citadel conversion chart
The closest Citadel 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.
17 AK Interactive paints have no close Citadel counterpart — usually metallics, washes and technical paints, which only match within their own category.
