Sweet-shop colours for cheerful models: bubblegum, mint, lemon and lilac.
Tip: Bright pastels look chalky if you shade with black: shade each one with a darker, richer version of itself.
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.
