Whether you’re painting a grim, shadow-laden warrior or aiming for a monochrome theme, the Flexible Triad: Black and Greys is a must-have in any painter’s toolkit. It’s a versatile range perfect for striking contrasts and building depth through shadows and highlights. As the colours are neutral, you can mix them into other colours to make them darker or lighter.
The Black and Greys Triad is suitable for projects across all genres of miniature painting, from historical and military figures to fantasy creatures and sci-fi models.
The Black and Greys Triad consists of:
Matt Black
Deep Grey
Uniform Grey
Ash Grey
Company Grey
Brigade Grey
Army Painter’s amazing flexible colour 'Triad' system comprises 27 sets of six colours ranging from dark to light (coded as A through to F in the name) within a consistent hue, making it easy to create natural colour progressions on miniatures. Ideal for miniature and model painting and eliminating the need for mixing colours.
This system enhances the traditional triad approach (base, shade, and highlight) by expanding to six colours, providing greater versatility and adaptability. You can select according to your exact needs for varying contrast levels: adjacent colours for smooth transitions or the lightest, middle, and darkest for maximum contrast.
