Filament colour match
Paste a hex code, colour code or whole palette and find the closest real 3D printer filament, from every brand we list or just one. Add up to 8 colours, or paste hex codes or a palette link.

No filaments match these filters.
Matches use CIEDE2000 (ΔE), a measure of how different two colours look: under 2, most people can't tell them apart side by side. It's worked out from the colour values makers publish, so check photos of the real spool before you buy. Multi-colour and discontinued filaments are left out.
How matching works
How matching works
Each filament colour is compared with yours using CIEDE2000 (ΔE), a measure of how different two colours look to the human eye rather than how far apart their numbers are. The lower the ΔE, the closer the match:
- Under 2: near identical; most people can't tell them apart side by side.
- 2 to 5: very close, the same colour at a glance.
- 5 to 10: close, clearly related but noticeably different next to each other.
- Over 10: only loosely similar.
The comparison uses the colour codes makers publish. Multi-colour and discontinued filaments are left out.
Colour matching questions
How do I match a filament colour?
Enter the colour you want as a hex code (such as #E8590C), pick it with the colour picker, or paste a palette. The closest real filaments appear for each colour, ranked by how alike they look. Filter by material, finish, diameter or brand to narrow them down.
Can I find filament by hex code?
Yes. Paste any hex code and the finder lists the filaments whose published colour is closest to it, from every brand we list. You can paste several codes at once, or a palette link from a site like Coolors.
Where do filament hex codes come from?
From the makers themselves, through the Open Filament Database. Each product page shows the hex code for every colour, and you can copy it with one click.
How accurate are filament hex codes?
They're a good guide, not a guarantee. A hex code is the maker's best on-screen version of a physical colour, and screens, lighting and finishes such as silk or matte all change how a spool looks. Check photos of the real spool before you buy, especially for close matches.
What does ΔE mean?
ΔE (delta E) measures how different two colours look. We use the CIEDE2000 version, which follows human colour perception closely. Under 2 is near identical, under 5 is very close, and over 10 is only loosely similar.
Can I match a whole palette to one brand?
Yes. Add your colours, then choose "One brand" to find the brand whose closest colours cover your whole palette best, or "One range" for a single product line, so every colour prints with the same settings.
