Question: Can you suggest a third colour for this camo scheme!?
I'm painting a set war gaming miniatures in fatigues and cloaks and I need a final colour for my camouflage scheme!. So far I have creamy/white fatigues with grey flak jackets and accessories, but need a third colour for the cloak!.
I'm trying to keep the colour scheme analogous, but I feel that if I use using more white or grey it will leave the figure looking a little too flat and unpleasant to the eye!. I understand that the function of camouflage is to disguise the subject, but in the case of war gaming miniatures it is an oxymoron (is that the word!?) and camouflage schemes have to "stand out"!.
Could anyone suggest a third colour choice!? It could even be a combination of two or more colours since the area left to paint is the largest part of the model and as such the most eye catching!.
If it helps with answering the question, the camouflage scheme is for a tundra landscape!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Maybe an earthy green!. Try mixing a little of the grey into the green in order to bend the green into a color that will go well with the grey!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

browns, or greens, or neutral blues, also could leave as is and use team colours to add as highlights,
