Colour Scheme

[petey]

I\'m painting a space marine with boltgun metal armour, but I cant decide on what the other colours should be, I\'d like to keep it dark.
Any suggestions?

A dark red or green might be a good contrast to the silver grey colour of the boltgun. Any primary or secondary colour should work, but those would be the choices i would go for

If your looking to do a dark green maybe
dark angels green.
Blue id use either midnight blue or regal blue.
for red probably red gore im not sure if you can go darker then red gore.

or even a dark purple could be nicely contrasted Liche purple maybe!!

to highlight the colours add a lighter shade of that colour.
For e.g. to highlight regal blue or midnight blue add in ice blue.

You probably already know this but if you dont i hope it helps!!!

I\'ve based the colour scheme on the Silver Skulls
