Can anyone recommend Minitaire paints that are the equivalent to scab red/khorne red and kantor blue?

Thanks!

Not sure on those GW ones sorry but this might help, I painted the tops of my Minitaire bottles to get a better idea of their colours. Minitaire doesn't really match up to other hobby ranges much, whereas Vallejo Game Colour and the old GW line were pretty much exact matches.

Wow, I thought I had a lot of paint. I guess then could you give me a good recommendation for a dark red and a dark blue in the Minitare line?

This chart gives a rough idea of the colours, though some seem way off. My Minitaire colours are in numeric order if you want to compare them to the chart for names, the dark reds are: Innards, Regal Red. Nebula red is a decent darkish red (especially over a black undercoat) that I'm probably using as a base for my Blood Ravens, with Angelic Blood (very orangey) used for highlights.
Dark blue would be Nautilus Blue or Royal Blood which is really dark.

Another option would be using the Ghost tints over dark basecoats as they're transparent paints. WGC and OrcPainterNerd have done good videos showing them. Les has done one with ghost tint fresh blood that is particularly applicable.
