Every Citadel color in one chart, rendered as accurate swatches and grouped the way Games Workshop sells them. Open any color to convert it into another brand, or jump to a full conversion chart below.
Games Workshop organizes Citadel paint by job rather than by color family: Base coats cover, Layers highlight, Shades sink into recesses, Contrasts do both in one coat, and Technicals handle effects. This color chart lists all 298 Citadel colors we hold with an accurate swatch, hex value, and paint type, ordered by range so the chart reads the way the racks do.
Citadel names do not line up with any other brand, so if you are rebuying a color in Vallejo, The Army Painter or another range, use the conversion links: every match is computed from measured color values, not eyeballed.

Common questions
Is there an official Citadel paint chart?
Games Workshop does not publish a full color chart with hex values or cross-brand matches. This chart lists all 298 Citadel colors from the current catalog with measured swatches, and the conversion links map each one into 11 other paint brands.
How many Citadel paints are there?
The current Citadel catalog we track holds 298 colors across 6 ranges: Base, Layer, Shade, Contrast, Technical and Air.
What is the difference between Base and Layer paints?
Base paints carry heavier pigment so one or two coats cover a primed model; Layer paints are thinner and slightly translucent, made for building highlights over a base coat rather than covering on their own.
Can I get these hex values for my own project?
Yes — every swatch on this chart shows its hex value, and each color's own page carries the same value with its closest matches in other brands.
