"Old "Armory" paints: any substitutes/conversion charts?" Topic

I know the acrylic paint line by "The Armory" has been gone for a long time. Amazingly, I still have some of their paints that have survived this long WITHOUT drying-out in their jars! A few of their colours were very handy, even unique, and (I find) are difficult to replace/match with current ranges.

Does anyone know of any online Paint Conversion charts that show modern equivalents for old Armory colours?

More specifically, does anyone who is familiar with the old Armory "Bubonic Blue" (GF-015) know of any modern brand's blue that matches that specific colour?

Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.

Loved that range of paints. Glass jars, Shame they're gone.

If you can't find a equivalent color, take your jar of paint over to Lowes or Home Depot and have them match the color with their paint machine and buy a sample can of latex paint to get you through. BTW I've used these paints on minis and they're very good.

abelp01 – thanks for the help! I've heard of doing that (using Lowes or Home Depot), but have never tried it. Do you take them the liquid paint in the jar, or a dried sample of that paint on, say, a flat surface?

I've always taken a painted surface, but they could probably do both.

Thanks, abelp01!

Old Armory Paints, these were the first acrylics paints I used, until I found out about PollyS paints which I moved on to.
