Black/carbon purity seals

[NiceGuyAdi]

Working a bit on my homebrew Marines. They have a bone/ivory colour scheme, and I’m finding that purity seals done in the traditional white or brown parchment style just gets lost against the armour.

 

I’m thinking about more of a carbon paper style look, so a really dark grey or black, but struggling to find examples for inspiration. Anyone out there come across some?

 

here’s a pic of some in progress marines that show the issue I’m having.

Perhaps going with a fleshtone like Seraphim Sepia over Cadian Fleshshade will get you the contrast your after?

Maybe don't treat them as purity seals, but rather as a fashion accessory, for want of a better term! 

For instance, they could be red indicating the marine is part of the 3rd company, or they could be strips of flesh, or it could be silk/satin/velvet.

How about the red style you see on some Black Templars?

As you have that redish/purpleish colour as your spot colour how about that for them as well.
