SirShanty Posted September 26 Report Share Posted September 26 So I am putting together a paint order and I want to order some new black paints. My preference is for MSP bones paint but will take them from any line. First is there a grey black or a charcoal color that is more black than grey? Is there another black paint that has a bit of nuance to it. Also what is the new black pearl paint that just came out. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2ED Posted September 26 Report Share Posted September 26 Vallejo is my favorite. They have a few blacks that are a mixed tone - black red, black brown, black grey, etc. I love them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance I can't give any advice on the Bones/Pathfinder lines as I've my hands full with the regular MSP line! However, since you're open to other lines: Nightshade Purple: This is so dark it is nearly black. Nightmare Black: This one has a lot of blue to it (I sometimes use it as a base/shadow layer for Midnight Blue). Multiple layers may be required to darken it sufficiently (but I may not have shaken it sufficiently). Coal Black: This one is limited availability. Normally Reaper releases it in time for the holidays. This black has blue/green undertones. And I'm curious to know if the Black Pearl is actually pearlescent, too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenity Posted September 26 Report Share Posted September 26 Wren put up some paint swatches with Black Pearl among them, but I can't tell if there's any flake in it. https://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/96064-reapercon-2021-paint-swatches/&do=findComment&comment=2021115 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexomatic Posted September 27 Report Share Posted September 27 I mix Corpprea Black, which is traditionally walnut brown and sapphire blue, I think. It makes a nice dark grey that reads as black. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zloyduh Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 (edited) I actually happen to have a few Reaper "off blacks". I think some of these are a result of getting kits. So, you might not be able to get individual colors like this. For the following list, I'm comparing them to 09037 - Pure Black. 09328 - Black Indigo (has a blue tone to it) 09693 - Coal Black (has a grey tone to it) (green tone, as it gets thinner - the green becomes more blue) very interesting color! 09022 - Nightshade Purple (purple tone) 09289 - Noir Black (looks like a lesser black, but I didn't have a chance to really play with this one yet) 09137 - Blackened Brown (very dark brown, I guess more brown than black, but very dark) 09440 - Ebony Flesh (another very dark brown, actually darker than Blackened Brown) Hope this helps! ~Z On 9/26/2021 at 11:28 AM, strawhat said: And I'm curious to know if the Black Pearl is actually pearlescent, too! 29151 - Black Pearl This one was a result of a kit. I believe it was the 2021 Reaper Con swag bag that I bought. It's a black with a purple tone to it, but it's got metallic particles in it. So a metallic very dark purple or a metallic black with a purple tone to it. However you want to describe it. ~Z Edited October 17 by Zloyduh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
