Paint: Which green?
« on: December 29, 2018, 09:38:16 PM »
Prussian Jagers, British 95th Rifles, etc.

What paints/colours are you using for the dark green?

I have a selection of greens but none are looking "correct" so I'll buy to suit.

Not that any 2 Rifle Green tunics would be the same but you want a Black-Green with limited yellow tones.

Example Vallejo colours.
Base: VAL970 Deep Green
Highlight:  VAL970 Deep Green + VAL845 Sunny Skin Tone
Shade:  VAL970 Deep Green + VAL950 Black

Many thanks.  I looked up the example and it seems a match for what I want.  However, searching through my paint stocks I discovered "Napoleonic Green" by Andrea.  Adding black for base coat and flesh for highlight as you suggested seems to have done the job.   :)
