Hulking folk from the ice fields: pale ice blues, deep fjord water and a frostbitten violet.
Tip: Work the violet into the deepest recesses of the blue skin to make it look properly frozen.
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.
