Corvus Black – Air Paint Colour Schemes & Combinations
When it comes to pairing Citadel Colour paints with Corvus Black, you have a lot of options to choose from. However, for a striking and dynamic look, I would recommend using orange, grey, and silver paints.
- Orange is a complementary color to black, meaning that it sits opposite on the color wheel and creates a high contrast look when used together. A great example of an orange paint from Citadel Colour would be Averland Sunset.
- Grey is a neutral color that can help to tone down the boldness of the orange, while still adding depth and dimension to your miniature. Leadbelcher or Ironbreaker are good examples of grey paints.
