vallejo oil equivilant

[godfather]

Any ideas what oil colour is equivilant to Vallejo Medium blue?

My recollection of the Val. medium blue is that it is really pretty light?

So, you can try Cerulean blue which is almost a sky blue. You can darken this one with WN Blue (I think... )

OTH, you can take French Ultramarine and bring it up with Titanium white and naples yellow.

Let us know what works for you, too.

I doubt there is an equivalent but even if you knew it's Cobalt Blue for example it would almost never look the same as your oil paint anyway because of variation in pigments.

So you're almost certainly going to have to mix this; this is good practice, everyone should try it sometime.
