Abteilung 502 Oil Paint - Paynes Grey (AKABT255)
Paynes Grey is a proper artist's staple that translates brilliantly to modelling. It's the tone for stippling, for subtly altering a base colour, and for pulling convincing effects out of uniforms and worn fabric. Cooler and more nuanced than a flat black, it darkens and knocks back without deadening a scheme — a quietly essential addition to any oil box.
