Wasteland Scavengers colour scheme for miniatures

Survivors picking through the ruins: dusty khaki, sun-faded red and patched teal.

Tip: Drybrush the dust colour over everything at the end to pull a mismatched outfit together.

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.
