Protectorate Fighter Color Matching

By Devlan, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

Anybody tried an easy color match for the blue-green panels on the stock protectorate fighter? I'm planning on redoing the red on one of my Jumpmasters to that same blue-green so that Manaroo will look nice and pretty next to Fenn and Teroch (and also provide some visual differences between it and the stock jumpy).

Ideally a single color of Vallejo or GW (ugh) I suppose, because I'm lazy. Or a mix I guess. I could probably match it through trial and error eventually, but I'm lazy, hence asking here.

Just did my Protectorate Starfighter today and had to mix colours for touchups.

My results were (all paints from Vallejo):

- gray: Stonewall Grey (72.749) + a bit of Sand (Ivory) 71.075 and Light Grey 71.050

- dark blue: Dark Sea Blue (898) with some white added

Made the mix by trial and error, can't give exact proportions, sorry.

Turned out like this (note that most is the normal paintjob, I just did small touchups, mostly on the middle part where the wings are mounted): http://imgur.com/a/fgHjH

Unfortunately my protectorate is now red, but from memory i'd look at GW stegadon scale green or an equivalent as a start.

Edit: just looked at the vallejo chart and they don't have an equivalent, maybe blue down scurvy green 72.027

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll take a look and yonder paint racks at the store tomorrow so I can get cracking.
