Default Need help making a dark green colour.

If anyone can tell me what colours would produce a green version of the Death Shadows blue armour paint scheme please let me know. I have been trying everything and anything yet no results.

The colours used for the armour where Chaos Black, Shadow Grey and Enchanting Blue evenly mixed.

Chaos black, Rotting Flesh and Snot green? or perhaps Darkangels if you want it extra dark.

I'd say Dark angels green followed by a wash or two of Badab Black. (and then you get a nice texture as well.

I'd say Dark Angels Green + a hint of yellow to make it a *little* greener + a hint of black to keep it dark, and then a wash or two of black as TGS suggested. The reason I don't say just straight Dark Angels Green is because DAG is a very subtle green, and is more grey-green than pure green, and if you're getting a color that dark, it's just gonna look like black unless you're exceptional at highlighting (like that person is) or you make it a little more pure green.

But, just experiment - you'll find something that works.

I'd agree with that, definately. I'd water the ink down more though and do a few washes.

For highlighting you could gently step it up from dark angels green even as far as goblin green, but for every step lighter you go, i'd add water, to give it a softer glazed edge...
