Tundra Recon colour scheme for miniatures

Winter scouts in snow camo: off-white, light and dark grey, with a bright orange marker.

Tip: Paint the camo blobs with a sponge or stipple for a clean modern look.

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.
