Things from below: crimson hide, obsidian horns and armour, sulphur yellow eyes.
Tip: Highlight the crimson towards orange, not pink, so the skin looks hot.
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.
