Hi does anyone know if Vallejo had a matching color for P27 light Dust. Has anyone used Vallejo pigments? are they the same as mig pigments?

I have used them and sell them in my shop.
They are as good, or better than Mig, the one downside is they only have 16 colors, but all can be mixed together to make whatever color you want.
Mig has fancy names like European Dust, and Russian Earth, Vallejo has actual artist colors like Light Sienna, and Raw Umber.
The biggest difference....you get 30% more, for about half the price with the Vallejo Pigments, that alone was enough for me to switch to Vallejo from the Mig here at my shop.
But don't take my word for it, check out this video from Jon Hayward.
