unable to get certain color hoping I can substitute

[angus147258]

Hey guys,
I have a deadline to finish my Chaplain before Kublan Con. I have to finish it before the 26 but I have a problem. I have chosen gold as my main metallic as not only is it easier to paint but the gold contrasts well with the blue of the armor. I am all out of Snakeback Leather (well VGC Cobra Leather actualy) which is my main ingrediant in gold NMM and I can\'t replace it any time this week! What am I suposed to do!?! I think the closest color I have is VMC german cam. orange Orche which is this color here:

The color I want to acheive is more like this:

How can I get this color with out this paint?!? Please help!

Those swatches are almost identical on my monitor.

Just use a brown and glaze back with a very thin golden yellow.

I\'m not the best at mixing colours but maybe add some yellow. Another thing you could try would be to add just a tiny bit of what ever your next highlight colour in your NMM recipe is, that way even if you don\'t match your desired color its still goes with the rest of the colours. Hope that helps a little.

alright.
Does anyone know where that \"create your own GW colors with the three primary paints\" went?

According to >>this<< article, a mix of two Sunburst Yellow, 1 Enchanted Blue, 1 Blood Red and 1 White will give you something close to Snakebite Leather.

Edit: Oh! So which one of us is psychic?

red & green make brown, you\'ll then need to add some yellow to get it closer to snakebite
