I am trying to paint Imperial Guardsmen with yellow armor. I've primed them with averland sunset. I will put a coat of flashgitz yellow on top and use some sepia as per some youtube. Videos for doing yellow armor have directed.

My question now, is what colors to do their khakis in. Please keep in mind that I am a beginner painter.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732779/9493264.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732779/9493264.page GMT Or a deep yellow like what they call Dorn yellow and then wash it with brown? I like Orange/darker red as a contrast to yellow, but you can stay with the color wheel (yellow is across from purple...so any blue to red to brown could work)
In any case, welcome to painting! Let us know how it goes!
Anyway, maybe some ideas...full pages here

If you want them to contrast but not stab you in the eyes with insane contrast, then a medium to dark brown could work.

If you do want it to stab you in the eyes with insane contrast you could try something like purple, lol.

Personally I reckon beige khakis with dark brown accents (belts, straps, pouches) could look pretty cool, maybe use a more vibrant red for some markings to create a bit more pop. You usually can't go wrong when adding a touch of red to any model.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732779/9493323.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732779/9493323.page GMT
Red huh? What about Mephiston red as a base? If i went that roure, would I want to layer anything on top of that?

Do ypu think Zandri Dust would be too drab or dark?

Also there is Mournfang brown.

Which citadel beige could I use? I can't figure out which is beige.

Also, which brown and reds would you suggest (as in the names)

Well, I guess Zandri Dust will not work well with the Averland sunset, as my test human BB player will attest to: https://imgur.com/gallery/nrtsu
