Name, Set, RGB, and Hex values of Miniature Paints

33 brands · 11,609 paints

This is a collection of hobby/miniature painting paints from some of the most popular brands around the world.

I forked the original repo from Arcturus5404/miniature-paints, who had made a significant amount of progress, but has not updated the repo in several years. I needed a clean and up to date dataset for my own paint/supplies inventory app.

The original paint list was scraped by Arcturus5404 from the Miniature Painter Pro team.

Feel free to use or improve any of these paints in your own personal projects. This repo will remain free for you to use in your projects, all I ask is a credit.

RGB & HEX

Unless otherwise stated, the RGB/Hex values for all paints are an approximation, as most manufacturers hold the spectral info secret. For the most part, the values have been sampled from product images either from the brands website or product catalogue.

Discontinued Paints

I have yet to decide how to handle discontinued paints. It's a tricky one.

I own paints that are now discontinued from Warhammer for example, but for brands I have not yet had the chance to use, I have no real idea what paints they have stopped making.

This requires more thought on my part, but if you have ideas I'd be happy to hear them.

JSON & Markdown

The paints/markdown/*.md tables are the single source of truth; everything below is generated from them by scripts/build_paints.py. The aggregate paints.json lives at the root of the /paints directory, and the per-brand files live in paints/json/. See paints/README.md for a per-brand index.

Every output file is described by a formal JSON Schema (Draft 2020-12) under schema/: schema/paints.schema.json for the aggregate and schema/brand.schema.json for the per-brand files. Each data file links to its schema via a relative $schema reference, so editors like VS Code validate it automatically.

Top level — paints.json

{
  "$schema": "../schema/paints.schema.json",  // relative link to the schema
  "schema": "miniature-paints/v3",            // version tag
  "brandCount": 33,
  "paintCount": 11812,
  "brands": {
    "AK": { /* brand object */ },     // keyed by file stem (paints/<stem>.md)
    "Acrilex": { /* brand object */ },
    // ...
  }
}

The per-brand files paints/json/<stem>.json each contain a single brand object (without the brandCount/brands wrapper). Each one is prefixed with its own $schema and schema keys so the file is self-identifying; the brand objects embedded under brands in paints.json omit those two keys (the aggregate already carries them).

  "shiftColors": null,          // string[] | null — ordered hex stops for colour-shift paints
  "potSizes": [                 // object[] | null
    { "raw": "37ml",  "value": 37,  "unit": "ml" },
    { "raw": "60ml",  "value": 60,  "unit": "ml" },
    { "raw": "250ml", "value": 250, "unit": "ml" }
  ],
  "description": null           // string | null
}

Field notes

• hex and shiftColors are mutually exclusive: a normal paint has hex set and shiftColors: null; a colour-shift paint has hex: null and shiftColors as an array of hex stops.
• rgb is null if any of R/G/B is missing or non-numeric in the source table.
• potSizes is an array when one or more sizes are known, or null when no size is recorded. Each entry is { raw, value, unit }; if a size string can't be parsed, value/unit are null but raw is preserved. Single-size brands are 1-element arrays.

Note

The schema field is versioned. v3 renamed the former singular potSize object to the potSizes array — consumers reading pot sizes should expect an array (or null).

Note

There's a lot of paints! Tens of thousands of them! I have been feeding the latest product catalogues into Claude and asking it to pull out all the paints and the sets they belong to. After I process and verify the output, Claude then updates the tables in the markdown files. AI can make mistakes, and so can I, so there may be errors. I verify as much as possible, but if a mistake slips through feel free to open a PR and I'll correct it.

There's still an awful lot of legwork involved. Claude is basically my unpaid intern.
