A knight out of a picture book: royal blue tabard, ivory cloth, crimson plume and plenty of gold.
Tip: Lots of gold can look busy, so keep the plume and tabard edges crisp to break it up.
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.
