<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Colors that look great with gold?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Colors that look great with gold?
For my Kabal, I am planning on painting their armor a majority gold.

However, I would like my wyches to use gold on their armor as well, to "unify" the army.

I am having trouble figuring out a good color to make my wyches "Spandex" (For lack of a better word) suits, so far I have come up with a deep blue, or red.

Any thoughts?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364798/2732155.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364798/2732155.page GMT Colors that look great with gold? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364798/2732168.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364798/2732168.page GMT Colors that look great with gold? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364798/2732196.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364798/2732196.page GMT Colors that look great with gold?

Ah, forgot contrasting colors!

I was going to ask what would be a contrast to it, brown might look good, more of a natural color.

My Kabal is a more rich/extravagant one, so possibly blue may work as a "Show-off" of their wealth.

Going for a Shining Gold, almost mithril looking Raiders, with gold parts. (Hard to show, a WIP thread will be up soon)

Red seems to be going down the route of blue, for showing off wealth!

I rather like how Blue and gold look, seen it in some sort of game before, looked nice, lavish though.

I would be avoiding Silver and Green as they would look silly to have as clothing colrs IMO.

Purple* seems like it may look good, as does red.

I was thinking with sticking to black, you think it would be a good color with Shining Gold?

Purple and Red are both nice as I said before, not sure if I would want purple clothing however.

Agreed

Couldn't post fast enough to quote you Enslaviour!

So far those are the leading candidates I'm thinking more Black or Red!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364798/2732258.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364798/2732258.page GMT Re:Colors that look great with gold? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364798/2732271.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364798/2732271.page GMT Re:Colors that look great with gold?

Probably staying away from white, although it would look great, when Dark Eldar comes to mind, I don't think of White.

Would look great on marines though!

That was actually the first color I thought of, since it is a mix of blue and grey I thought it would look nice, I have seen some warriors painted with their under armor painted shadow gray, and their armor painted gold, they look amazing.

Black goes with anything really.

Browns if they are red based would work very well, but not so much with yellow based browns.

Gold is the metallic version of yellow. Meaning they tend to blend on models a lot and you lose shape etc.

I think a blue-grey will be the best option, If you go for a bright green you could get the "Harlequin" effect of having lots of bright colours on a single model, all trying to grab your attention at once. As you have gold and purple already, you should probably stick to either darker tones of green or blue, (navy could work), or more neutral versions, like black.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364798/2736628.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364798/2736628.page GMT Re:Colors that look great with gold? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364798/2736839.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364798/2736839.page GMT
