Hello,
have a problem with a special color. Normally i use for RLM 76 H-417 from Gunze, but today my dealer hasn´t any and so he gave me XF-23 from Tamiya. Can i use it , or its a bead decision ?

From what I understand of RLM colors, Tamiya XF-23 is not a match for RLM 76 but instead is a match for RLM 65 Hellblau. So, if you’re trying to match RLM 76 don’t use the Tamiya.

Not sure if this will help or not, but here is a x-ref I found by RLM:

I haven’t used the RLM Scale, so I do not know how accurate this is.
