Colour Question

Posted in Custom Workstation

Hello everyone!
I went into town today to the shop that usually sells Citadel paints - but they're closed! I often go there with bits of action figures to see if they can help me colour match, but until I find a new place, I might need to ask on Figure Realm!

I have the shredded purple cape from the most recent Marvel Legends Morbius, and am looking for some paint (preferably Citadel, because I'm used to it, and it's easy for me to get in the UK) that matches closely with it. Does anyone happen to be clued up on those sorts of things who might be able to help? Thanks!

Thanks! That's a top tip! In the end I found another shop that sold those paints - but I'll bear this in mind for next time!

What you can do is get a program like Photoshop, take a picture of the thing and import the picture. Select the color on the screen then go to the RGB color picker in the program. It'll show you where on the spectrum of colors it falls. This way you can see that if the purple falls somewhere closer to blue than red, then you should mix in some blue. If it falls closer to desaturated than saturated, you could mix in some gray to desaturate it a little.
