Paint conversion charts / Citadel to Darkstar
Citadel to Darkstar conversion chart
The closest Darkstar match for every Citadel 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.
