concrete colour with humbrol paint
« on: December 01, 2012, 11:23:14 pm »
would anyone know what colours to mix to get an approximation of concrete  using humbrol paints. have experimented with black., grey and white but cant get it to match very close at all.

If you start from a light yellow ochre base you may come closer.

concrete has many colours.... your best bet is to find a picture of what you want and go here:-

Upload the pic and then you get a list of the closest colours
