In the pot, Augur Blue reads as a cool blue, light and moderate. For modelling, drop to Kraken Lavender in the recesses and step up to Bright Sapphire on the edges, both The Army Painter paints. Augur Blue is a bit distinctive: no other brand carries a strong same-finish match, though Citadel Blue Horror comes nearest at 75 percent. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
