Base armor question

[Angeal]

Hello, all

 

I was wondering something while I was in the store looking at paint for my armor. I am in the process of painting the base color and was wondering something as to me the two colors does not look the same.

 

I have searced through the forum and found that some places the base color is refereced as Krylone Kakai (From their camo line) while other places its referenced as Benjamin Moore's HC - 96 Richmond Gray (Don't know if they have changed since Mr Bungle posted CRL discussion post)

 

But they look drasically different to me and was wondering which one is correct, or is this is going to be something that's going to be more interpeted like the color of Commander Bly's armor as some people say the "yellow" is catapeller yellow while some people say its musturd yellow, to me that looks different being that musturd yellow is almost like yellow yellow while catapeller yellow looks closer to the orange spectrum.

 

 

Here is the forum pages I was looking at

 

Mr Bungle's CRL discussion topic

As here is the pages for the colors, i know that looking at them on screen may not work from some as some people's screen are not caliberated but I was looking at them at the local hardware store when I was looking at them as this can give you reference is you want to do the same.

If you are using spray paint, I can suggest using Krylon - Almond for the base color. This is what I used and I applied about 2-3 coats.

Thanks for the insight, as I will look into that opinion
