First foray into camo painting, looking to do ERDL camo... for reference:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ERDL_pattern

I tried color picker + Encycolorpedia, but looks like it doesn't show results for acrylic paints?

Anybody got any color suggestions? Not fanatical about total historical accuracy, but should be close if possible. Not sure which version I will do, so looking for suggestions for both variants.

Or are there some other internet resources that might be useful?

What paints do you currently have? If you’re starting from scratch then this Vallejo set would probably cover a few different slight variants. It’s timely possible that Google will be able to tell you some direct colours to use as well

A couple of tutorials for painting camo patterns using contrast paints (that I plan on using once I get a day that's not too cold or too wet to prime my minis )
