If I start an Eldar army I want to paint them in a colour called celeste. I don't know if it's a real colour, or a colour invented by the bike company Bianchi to be their trademark. It's a very pale green/blue. Any ideas where I can get a colour like this, without mixing my own? Selebite green from GW looks good, but a bit too dark.

Any help or advice would be great!

Maybe "Temple Guard Blue" or "Baharroth Blue"?

...possibly "Nihilakh Oxide" too, though I think that's about as thin as a wash...prime your models white, give them a layer or two of that, could work? ...I've seen ghost/spirit type models painted like that, and they looked pretty cool...

I only know of Baharroth Blue, it's an edge paint though, so more of a highlight thing. It does come rather close, but not exact. You'd need a paint that's way more of a mint green color.

Can't really find anything in the Valejo paint ranges either. There is both some kind of paint that matches, but it's more used for oxide effects, not really usable.

What are you planning to paint?

Vallejo has a couple colours in that shade (or similar).

It's like a pale cyan. Not sure how helpful that would be to the search though.

There is a Vallejo Game Colour called 'verdigris' that looks like that. VGC 'foul green' would maybe make a good shade area color for it.

Thanks guys. How do you think Sybarite green with edge highlights of gauss blaster green would look?

It's for the bodies of Eldar guardians/jet bike riders. Not sure what to do for a contrasting helmet colour though.
