Shadow Weaver colour scheme for miniatures

Raiders who move in the dark: deep purple, near-black armour and a poisonous green glint.

Tip: Highlight the black armour with the purple instead of grey so it stays rich.

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.
