Looking for their old GW names, to match to the new names. I have looked but all I can seem to find is the new GW equivalent colour name! The 2 paints I wish to replace are GW era Cote D'arms paints. Desert Sulphur Yellow
Horizon Blue The paints are finally dieing in there little flip top bottles sadly. |

Here is one conversion chart, there are several floating around.

Wrong chart Mirosav, the GW names listed here are their current range, not the old range they replaced. The bottles I have are from the older range which Cote D'arms sell but I can't find a list of what the names became. |

It's capital-challenged "Coat D'arms", but anyway… It's going to be difficult to go back farther than the original equivalency chart Gladiator established when they had the range, and that's the same as Mirosav's: link All the Wayback Machine's archives pages for both that site (back to 1999) and the gladiator.co.uk site show that same equivalency listing. The archived pages for the short-lived coatdarms.com (before it bacame Black Hat's site) don't include the paint listings. Sorry. Maybe Mike at Black Hat has an historical docuument that will sort it for you. Allen |

The main problem with the equivalency chart is simply, the two colours I am looking for are not listed sadly. I will drop Black Hat a line and see what can be found out. Nice to see I have been unstifled Allen. |

You haven't checked your stifle count for quite a long time, then! Yes, I understand the problem, and I've exhusted all the ways I can think of to turn up a listing that would include those. And "Desert Sulphur Yellow" is unique enough that it ought to turn up in a search. Obviously, it doesn't. Allen |

Fredd: I sell the CDA paints here in the US. If you make a swatch of each color and send it to me, I can point you to the proper matching paints. Mark "Extra Crispy" Severin

I have replied by email, but I'm afraid that those two colours are not the same as ones that Coat D'arms has ever produced as far as I can tell from any old colour listings. They may be after GW switched production to France. Mike |

Hiya Fred. I came acroos this thread while searching for a good Horizon Blue colour guide for my WW1 French. I also found this page shortly afterward. link It would appear that the two paints you're after are from the same (old and no doubt OOP) Citadel "Epic Battle Paint Set". Not good news but I hope it helped. B |
