Damo1701 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Reds, Greens, Silver, Black, purple. Try and steer clear of gold though, as I feel it doesn't overly add much to the model, and just blends in. I like the way Red Helmets look on IF Sergeants, and I do my eye lenses green (Waywatcher Green glaze over Ceramite white) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318081-what-colours-go-well-with-yellow/#findComment-4274171 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slips Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Purple is the direct contrast to yellow so that is what would make them pop the most. Just careful that its not too overbearing!

JeffTibbetts Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Yeah, Slip's right about purple on the color wheel. In terms of actual palette design, lots of blues work just as well as purple when it comes to yellow/warm palettes. I think blue is really the go-to color these days simply because purple is seen as garish. A good dark royal blue would pop like crazy, whilst a paler blue would be a very fine accent color without dominating the composition. Play around in a color picker or the B&C painter to get the ratios right.

Halandaar Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I like black for this actually, and I'm particularly fond of the Templar Brethren colour scheme (which is sort of the inverse of what you're suggesting, using yellow as the accent colour). And slightly against Jeff's view, I really like purple as well. I suppose the danger is your Marines look like Cadbury's Caramel wrappers.

Slips Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I also did pretty much the same as Above though I used Red as the primary colour for the Maltese Crosses. But used a Really Dark Purple for the Pistol/Gun Casings.
