Title: Japanese Indigo Colored Paints
Post by: ErikB on 29 December 2014, 10:56:13 PM

Can anyone recommend a good paint that matches that indigo color we see in many kendo uniforms?

As well as a non-white highlighting color to mix in?

I think it looks great and would like to use it for some 28mm samurai.

Thanks!

Vallejo Model Color Oxford Blue (70807), shaded with black and highlighting with a khaki should do the trick... :)
