About ResourceCentral

ResourceCentral builds free, browser-based tools for miniature painters. The first two are a cross-brand paint converter and a paint stash tracker.

Why these tools exist

Painting tutorials are almost always written in one brand's colours — usually Citadel — but painters own a mix of Citadel, Vallejo and The Army Painter, and pots get discontinued. Finding a reliable equivalent meant digging through decade-old forum charts and PDFs. We wanted one fast, accurate tool that does the colour maths for you.

How matches are calculated

Every paint's swatch colour is converted to the CIE-Lab colour space and compared with the CIEDE2000 formula — the industry-standard measure of perceptual colour difference. Matches are computed, not hand-picked, and each comes with a quality rating so you know how far to trust it.

Your data stays yours

Everything runs in your browser. The converter sends nothing to a server, and your paint stash is stored only on your device. No account, no uploads, no tracking beyond standard anonymous analytics.
