Dulux colour cards

Have just raided our local B=Q store and come back with 1 of each of the dulux colour cards. I am going to put them in colour sections eg, all green , brown etc. Then i will get myFS reference file and humbrol chart and paints and cross reference them by writing the nearest FS/ Hum match.This way i can at a glance see what colours are going to be needed and what they will look like on the model .I can also take a few to museums etc to give a better idea of the colours .
I dont intend to use dulux if i can help it!1

It's really good to have a comparison, I use this for Tamiya & Humbrol maybe you can add Tamiya to your cross reference while your at it and post your findings

? its not...clear is X-22 white is either XF-2 of X-2 if you mean why is this bit the same....(see attachment) well you cant really show "clear" on the internet can you, so imagaine it as not white, but see through and the colour of the website behind it is white, so you see white...if that makes sence :S
