Dawn Herald colour scheme for miniatures

Winged messengers at first light: bright white robes, sky blue, sunrise gold and rosy skin.

Tip: Shade the white with the sky blue rather than grey to keep it clean and heavenly.

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.
