Plague Marsh colour scheme for miniatures

Something rotten lives in the bog: sickly yellow-green flesh, bruise purple and old rusty iron.

Tip: Glaze a thin bruise purple around wounds and joints so the sickly green looks sore.

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.
