Most difficult color.

Hey guys, just curious, what color gives you the most problems and why?

Khaki. I never know what to shade it with, or what to outline webgear and the like with. Highlights are a bother, too.

 

[Lou Masses]

WHite. Now matter how much I do it "by the book" it looks like a mess to me.

 

[PJ Deluhery]

Red. The highlights always look wrong to me. I follow the standard advice, but the results never look right to me. .....So, I mess with it. Need I say more?

Happy Painting

White and black. I've got several mixes from different people in the hobby. They work for them, but never for me.

On most nights, whichever color I'm using at the moment, but on a regular basis, I have a lot of trouble with white & highlighting yellow.

White, particular for large areas.

BTW, I find painting blue to be the most forgiving color.

 

[CondeJulian]

Whites , Gulf sand , airborne colours ...

 

[MinasTirithGuard]

Black, definitely black. Either it looks like a solid undercoat or it's striped, I can never get it right...

 

[Lou Masses]

Pat; Help me with white. I'll help you with red!
You're whites (and B&W's) are perfect. I'm ok with red. We could do wonders!

 

[megroot]

White, grey, blue and red.
For me untill now the difficulties.

Green. 'Nuff said. I hate mixing my own and I hate the transluscency of those that come in tubes.

[Bluesking]

Yellow and black cause me the most problems - never seem to introduce enough contrast.

 

[jjgurk]

yellow and black it is for me....

 

[Roc]

Hey Guys, my most difficult color was green, but I think I solved the problem by using chrome green, which is very opaque for my base.

YELLOW! and sometimes white.

Lou, you're on! How about we start our "support group" with a healthy quaff of an adult beverage?

Happy Painting!
