46 of 165 Citadel colors have a P3 equivalent within a visible-match tolerance. 1 are near-identical.
Every value comes from the manufacturer's own published chart or swatch — nothing here is estimated by eye. Matches are computed with ΔE2000, the standard measure of how different two colors look to a human.
What it cannot capture: opacity, finish and pigment behavior. Two paints can measure identically and still behave differently over black, or dry to a different sheen. Treat a match as a strong starting point, not a promise — and where a row says no close match, that is the honest answer: buy the original.
