Hi, guys. Just wondering what colours would I need to mix to get this shade of purple, as soon on Tau XV25 Stealth Team



I got a dark shade using a mix of 3:1 of Scab Red and Ultramarines blue, and then a drop of black

Thanks in advance. Stu

I think that might actually be Scarab Red painted over a black primer.

Yeah it's definitely a red. Their darkest purple Lich purple is much more royal purple than the maroon in that pic.

Try warlock purple with some black?

I'd highly recommend going to and art store or a crafts store like Michaels and picking up a color wheel, it really helps when mixing paint to get a desired shade.
