Citadel Dry to Pro Acryl
Matches are worked out from each paint's colour value, using the CIEDE2000 measure of how different two colours look, and Contrast paints are matched with Speedpaint and Xpress Color. Brands record shades and metallics in ways that can't be compared like this, so shades show the commonly used equivalent wash, and metallics show the closest paint of the same metal (gold with gold, silver with silver). Real paints also differ in finish, coverage and how they look over different primers, and colours on screen are approximate, so treat these as a starting point.
