Sea folk from a warm lagoon: coral pink, turquoise water, foam white and a flash of sunshine.
Tip: Wet-blend the coral and turquoise where they meet on fins and tails for a fishy look.
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.
