I'm not sure if this is the best place to reply... but I haven't found much success anywhere else.

I just ran out of a really really old Citadel colour called "Deadly Nightshade"... it's a really dark navy colour. I haven't been able to find an equivalent with any current Citadel colour and I don't know if it matches up with any of the competitor paints. If you happen to come across it and add it to the list... please let me know.

All of the really old citadel paints are carried by Coat D'arms so check them out and there should be a listing with conversion charts somewhere!

From the link below the paint comparison chart you can go to Silicon Dragon - http://colors.silicon-dragons.com/full_line.php

You can use the link to match the whole set of Citadel colours with another range such as Vallejo, Ral Partha or Foundry.

You can also search for equivalent paints in other ranges from one in GW for instance
http://colors.silicon-dragons.com/

However Nightshade Blue isn't on the list so they only do the Citadel paints that they insourced after they gave up on HMG (which became Coat D'Arms as you all know).

The Coat D'Arms Fantasy range has an almost grey colour called Deadly Nightshade but then the paint chips aren't very accurate on this site as Angel Green looks grey as well.

But this doesn't look like much of a dark blue colour so another colour from Cote D'Arms might do and perhaps the names of the colours are out to avoid copy infringement with the current range of GW paints.

Treeman,

Yeah, I found that Coat D'arms still produces some of the old odd colours I picked up years and years ago. Deadly Nightshade is exactly the one I need and it's going to be nice to get a fresh paint pot that hasn't had it's life extended from water and thinners lol.

I recently got a bunch of coat d'arms paints as well. I missed the metallic colours like enchanted blue... anyone else remember the metallic paint set that came out just before 2nd edition 40k?
