Valkyrion Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I'm struggling a bit with my current paint selection - I'm either going too green or too blue - so which is the best colour for me to get?

Firedrake Cordova Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 If you're happy mixing paints, ivory or a really pale yellow are somewhat "universal highlights", so mixing them in should give a lighter shade. Examples would be Formula P3 Menoth White Highlight, Vallejo Model Color Ivory, Vallejo Game Color Bonewhite, and Vallejo Model Color Ice Yellow. Alternatively, have you looked at Formula P3 Arcane Blue? (I suspect it may be too blue) I've not tried mixing a regular paint in with a Contrast paint, but assume it should be fine (if thin )...

Lord Marshal Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Temple Guard Blue if you're using Citadel maybe? http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1075/3978/products/Temple_Guard_Blue_layer_grande.jpg?v=1452532721 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370236-which-paint-to-highlight-terradon-turquoise/#findComment-5698509 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhanist Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Sotek green then temple guard blue are the GW recommend highlight colours for teal with terradon turquoise - which makes sense, since they've the non-Contrast teal colours!

I'd never really noticed that part of the GW website before. I'd seen the pictures but never clicked on them, I thought it was just saying to use a generic 'dark, wash, layer, highlight.'

Closet Skeleton Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I don't own Terradon Turquoise, only Sotek Green and Temple Guard Blue which I mostly use to paint normal blues. Baharoth Blue is an even lighter Turqoise that I've never used. All I can really say is don't use Fenrisian Grey since that's the one I use to pull turqoise highlights away from turquoise.

Xenith Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 that's excellent. I'd never really noticed that part of the GW website before. I'd seen the pictures but never clicked on them, I thought it was just saying to use a generic 'dark, wash, layer, highlight.' The things you learn. Download the Citadel colour app, it has all this stuff. Just pick the colour you want to achieve and it tells you the base, shade and highlight colours from the citadel range.
