Xauhaudoom Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I am running low on a master series paint called Deep Amethyst (9079). Noticed that it is no longer in stock and was wondering what would be the closest or exact color to it in the MSP or HD series? Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buglips*the*goblin Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I poked through and couldn't find a near-exact match, but I found some potential contenders that might be reasonably close. This, of course, may vary because I have to try and match using monitor settings. But if I was looking for a substitute, they're the ones I'd try out: Violet Light: http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/Master%20Series%20Paints/sku-down/09266 And Twilight Purple and Gem Purple: http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/Master%20Series%20Paint%20High%20Density/sku-down/29819 http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/Master%20Series%20Paint%20High%20Density/sku-down/29820 Combining those latter two might actually produce the closest result, if I had to guess. But I don't know for sure, I don't have the colours to test. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artists Wren Posted August 3, 2015 Artists Share Posted August 3, 2015 Violet Light is a similar value, and is a blued purple. It has less blue in it than Deep Amethyst. None of the 'in print' purples are as blued as Deep Amethyst. I think your best bet would be to try adding a little blue in to Violet Light or Imperial Purple and seeing if you can mix something that's a little closer. (I did test swatches with a few paints to come to this conclusion, but don't have time right now to do mix tests, sorry.) I loved that triad, too, I feel your pain! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
