I know there probably is, but I never bookmarked it.

Frankly, I am tired of paying an arm and a leg for a tiny bottle that is great for the first batch, but flocculates out into a runny soup with grainy sandy particles if I do not use it for a few months.

Give me a bottle that holds 6 times as much and costs a third of the price, and NEVER goes bad, any day.
Plus, I can go to two each of the local AC Moore and Michael's Craft store, or even Wal-Mart and pick them up on my lunch hour.

Here's a freeby: Americana "Antique White" is a perfect match for Iraqi Sand.

Probably not, but there should be. Actually, John, I have had trouble finding a craft equivalent for some Vallejo colors. I especially find it hard to match darker colors with the craft paints. Anyway, hope someone has a suggestion.

Wrong link
Link below is nice as it gives craft paint ratios to produce vallejo colors:
