Frequently asked
What is the closest equivalent to The Army Painter Greedy Gold?
The closest same-finish match is Humbrol Brass at 96% color similarity.
What finish is Greedy Gold?
Greedy Gold is a metallic paint with a gold tone and a reflective finish. Because the shine comes from metal flake, a flat paint can match the color and still be wrong for the job, which is why cross-finish matches here are references rather than swaps.
What do I highlight and shade Greedy Gold with?
Highlight Greedy Gold toward Bright Gold and shade it down into True Brass, both The Army Painter paints in the same finish family.
