Linen white - cloth vs enamel

[Renowyth]

I'm about to start painting 14093: Finari, Crusaders Hero for a friend for a game.

I want to try doing "white" enameled armor, and most likely some of the fabric will be white as well.

 

My theory is to have linen white be my midtone.

 

If I want to show that one is metallic/enameled and one is cloth, any suggestions to shadows and/or techniques to emphasize the difference?

 

Accents will be in a yellow or orange (i.e. Tibetan monks robes), if that affects color choices.

 

Thanks!

Softer/wider highlights on the cloth, and you can do the blue/orange contrast by using linen white on the cloth and snow shadow/ghost white/pure white on the armor.

ooh, that sounds pretty! Thanks, I wouldn't have thought of that.

Here is an example of what it looks like.

Even better - a picture is worth a thousand words, etc.

For the warm white I would use something in the ivory triad as the mid tone and for the cool white something like Snow Shadow MSP.
