Mix Your Own Set of Grey Paint! Color Theory Lesson for Miniatures | Warhammer

Hi everyone, and welcome to the first video in my color theory series! Let's mix our own set of 8 neutral grey paints using just black and white. These paints are really useful for painting black, white, and also general color mixing. Once you mix up a couple of these, you won't ever want to buy grey paint again!

Nice video ! It's weirdly difficult to find a nice dark grey in all the popular brands. You have tons of neurtal mid greys, but there's a huge gap between those and pure black.

This is incredible. I can't wait to do this. Thank you!

I want to do this with Vallejo Game Color paints. Realistically if I were to buy a few bottles of black and white to mix my greys, what sort of ratio should I get? Obvs a black for #1 and white for #10...but for the other 8 should I get 4 black and 4 white? That should balance out a full 1-10 range of black to white across a range of greys shouldn't it? Brilliant video by the way 👏👌❤️👍😎

Great video! Did you end up making the majority of the batch from cheaper paints?

What a coincidence, only yesterday I was going through my PDF's from Instar Paints. There's a section in the Value Painting PDF about Intensity and creating a Grey Scale paint set, I was thinking that would be cool to have. Then this video popped up today, must be a sign!!

Fortunately Instar do 50ml refill bottles. They do 9 grey mixes between the black and white, starting at 10:0 with the black and ending with 0:10 with the white. So 9:1, 8:2, 7:3 etc. Might make a start on it tomorrow, got enough bottles to do 7 mixes. That would be a good start, could leave out the 9:1 and the 1:9 mixes for now
