(* = approximate, ** = discontinued, *** = coat d'arms match the OLD citadel colours so there might be some difference. Shining gold has the most noticeable difference,
**** P3 Paints do not really match very closely with the GW range, but a detailed explanation of each paint can be found here: http://www.brushthralls.com/pre-painting-prep/color-theory-10p3.html )
Citadel foundation paints currently have no known colour equivalents. There are many high-pigment paints that work in the same way such as the P3 range or some of the Vallejo model colour range.
