Looking for an easy way to convert the old citadel paints into the new ones?

This is your ultimate guide and chart for converting the old citadel paint line into their new names.

Firstly, let’s start with the conversion chart directly from citadel.

Citadel Paint Conversion Chart

This is a very useful chart if you just want to quickly look up a color to see what the new color name is.

However, if you want the ability to print out a chart this is not ideal as it will eat up a lot of your toner with all those colors.

Now, because the chart is not sorted alphabetically, it makes it more difficult to find the right color you’re looking for.

So what I’ve done is I’ve created two charts that are easy to print out, and which are sorted in alphabetical order.

Old Citadel Paint to New Citadel Paint Conversion Chart – Alphabetical

The first chart is a convenient alphabetical listing of all the old citadel paint colors and their corresponding new colors.

New Citadel Paint to Old Citadel Paint Conversion Chart – Alphabetical

Now, if you need to know what the OLD citadel paint color was for a corresponding NEW citadel color, this is the chart you’ll want.

This chart can be especially useful if you’re looking at a codex or a box showing the required new color of paint, and you want to check to see if you have that same color already at home but under the old name.

Now if you just want a quick alphabetical listing, here they are:

Summary

I hope you find these charts useful.

I printed mine out so that I can use them as a “cheat sheet” and I can mark off which ones I already own so that when I go to the store I know not to buy the same paints again just because they have a new name. 🙂
