Scalecolor

Scalecolor is Scale75's main artist-oriented range, 63 opaque colors that lean toward the display and character-painting crowd. The paints have a distinctive matte, slightly resinous finish and a reputation for smooth blending, which is why they show up so often in the hands of competition and bust painters rather than army builders.

The range's real strength is its organized sets of related tones, and it is notably deep in the two areas display painters care most about: skin and leather. You will find a graded run of flesh tones and matching shadow colors, plus a full set of leathers and woods, which is exactly what a face, hands, and equipment on a single showcase figure demand. The overall palette leans earthy and mid-toned, with browns and greys forming the largest blocks.

The trade-off is that Scalecolor asks a little more of the painter. The matte finish and the way these paints handle reward thinning and patience, so they suit deliberate work over fast tabletop batches. For a gamer painting a horde, a more forgiving opaque range is an easier start.
