Humbrol Limited is a British brand and former manufacturer of paints, solvents, and other accessories for scale model kits and toys.

After supplying oil for bicycles the company produced black paint for renovating them and then a range of twelve colours.

During the 1950s and 1960s, Gerald Barton turned Humber Oil Company into "Humbrol" which developed a range of model paints and other modelmaking paraphernalia.

The Airfix model company joined the group in 1986, transferring its kit production to the Heller factory in Trun, Orne, France.

The archetypal container was a 14 ml tin with the lid illustrating the paint colour and an embossed reference number.
