Hello, I'm about to put in an order for some Coat d'Arms paints, but I can't tell from screenshots which of their colours most closely match a standard, mid-tone yellow ochre and a burnt umber. I've looked in both their miliatary and fantasy ranges, seena few possible candidates, but it isn't easy to tell. As a secondary question, can anyone tell me the key difference between this company's 'super wash' and 'super shade', since both seem to perform similar jobs
As a side note, I really wish paints manufacturers would attempt a standardised naming system for key colours (I realise tones and hues are somewhat subjective, but still
). |

SuperShader is designed to settle in the recesses so it gives instant shading (also sometimes called The Dip even though it is generally brushed on). Super Wash is just a cool name for pre-mixed ink washes. Super Wash does not automatically settle in the recesses. That and SuperShader comes in a bigger pot. As for your color matches, Italian Red Earth (despite the name) is Yellow Ochre-ish as is Bilous Brown. For Burnt Umber, look at 519 Chocolate Brown. Names are a terrible way to categorize paint which is why paint manufacturers use numbers. The numbers essentially tell you the recipe for that color. One man's aqua is another man's teal. The names are just for marketing purposes because they make a better brochure. |
