Matt Light Yellow vs Hexos Palesun

How close are they?

ΔE 2.1, very close: most people won’t see a difference side by side. Our swatches for the two are almost the same. They are different kinds of paint: AMMO by Mig Matt Light Yellow is an ink, glaze or transparent paint and Citadel Hexos Palesun is an opaque base/layer paint, so they won’t behave the same on the model even where the colour is close.
