so I want to paint my harlequins after the masque of the dreaming shadow but I don't know what paint they used in the book
maybe someone who paints a lot more than me knows what colors there are and what I need to use
thanks

Hmm, I prosonaly paint the frozen stars and the twisted path but I would think that I would use Arihman blue mixed with some green to make it a better turquoise for the job.
for the red I would work up in the base, shade, layer, highlight process of khorne red,caraburg crimson, thinned Khorne red and the wazdaka red as highlights to give it a slightly lighter tone instead of the lighter Khorne red,caraburg Crimson, Wazdaka red, Wild rider.
For the gold use retributor armour, Reiklen Fleshshade, Liberator Gold, Stormhost sliver.
Silver should go Leadbelcher, Nuln oil, Thinned Leadbelcher stormhost silver
for the white bits base in celestial grey and edge highligh in white scar.
Just a few suggestions, take it all with a grain of salt because I'm not he best painter and I'm just throwing ideas out there for you

can you tell me how you paited the twisted path they look epic as well

That's is something that gave me hell, only my heros are twisted path and the rest are frozen stars because that's easy

Well I had limited access to paints so this might be a bit off but it will have to do.
So for the cloth i started with troll slayer orange and wet blended it across the clothes with Khorne red(this depends on how dark you want your red to be, maybe even use something along the lines of GW's old Blood Red)I then washed it wth caraburg Crimson on the red and a VERY light was of seraphim sepia on the orange to bring out details but not make it to dark. The gold and silver are painted in the way described. The pink was done with screamer pink, caraburg Crimson wash and pink Horror highlights. The cloth tails are just wet lenses with their respective colours and all the checkers are done on with Abadon Black and edge highlighted with echin gray. White is fine as described previously. Just use my colours as a guideline, take them with a grain of salt and adapt them to your needs and available colours if you wanted to paint them
