121 colorsX and XF rangesTamiya brand hub

Every Tamiya Color X and XF acrylic in one chart, rendered from measured swatches. Open any color to convert it into another brand, or jump straight to a full conversion chart below.

Tamiya splits its acrylic paints into two families: the X range dries gloss, and the XF range dries flat. This chart lists all 121 colors in both ranges with an accurate color swatch, its hex value, and its paint type. Tamiya numbers colors and finishes very differently from Citadel or Vallejo, so use the conversion links to move a Tamiya color into the range you paint with.

The X range (gloss)

Tamiya Color X paints dry to a gloss sheen. They cover well and level smoothly, which makes them a common choice for vehicle bodies, canopies, and any surface meant to look wet or polished. On miniatures they read brighter and more reflective than a matte hobby base, so many painters knock them back with a flat varnish once the color is down.

The XF range (flat)

Tamiya Color XF paints dry flat, with no shine. This is the range most scale modelers and miniature painters reach for first, since a matte finish photographs cleanly and takes weathering, washes, and drybrushing without fighting a gloss coat. The XF line carries the bulk of the military and earth tones.
