Perhaps this color chart will be of help:

Hello Karl
Thanks for looking.
I've got the Vallejo paint charts. My problem is that the
box art on the figure's I cant match any numbers to the Vallejo colours. Also they show the construction & painting guide on the back the figure's looks a Tan colour but the Front Box art the figure's have a Greenish tint to the colour.
I wish that Dragon would also include Vallejo on there boxes as the paints a widely used these days.

Ah, I see what you are after now Shaun.

What paints company, if any, is referenced on the box? If there is a particular company then send me the numbers/color names and I can consult a big conversion chart I have- it covers most of the major brands. Or you can look for a chart on the net, there's a few out there.

If no particular brand is referenced you'll have to eyeball it!

Hi Karl
They list Gunzo & Testors.
The trouble comes from trying to match these to the Vallejo colours.
I've an online comparison chart & even this dont help.
Oh well I'll probably try a bit of guess work.
