Ancient spear-men: polished bronze, crimson cloaks, linen and clay-pot orange.
Tip: Paint shield designs in the clay orange with the dark cloak shade as the line colour.
Below is each colour in the scheme with the closest paint in every major brand. Metal colours are matched to metallic paints, the rest to opaque paints. ΔE is how far the paint is from the target colour: under about 6 is close, over about 15 is loose. These are worked out from swatch estimates, so check the real paints before you start.
