The Army Painter: Desaturated Cool Greens - Flexible Triad Bundle

Evoke the subdued essence and beauty of natural and historical elements with the Flexible Triad: Desaturated Cool Greens. This selection of colours is perfect for capturing the feelings of a rugged terrain with moss-covered stones or the muted tones of military unforms. Whether you are painting the mossy remains of ancient ruins, the elegant patina of old metalwork, these colours are ideal for painting weathered and worn materials and imbuing your miniatures with a sense of history and narrative. The colours in the triad are also perfect for creatures that inhabit enchanted forests such as the leafy form of an ent or a wood elf.

The Desaturated Cool Greens Triad is suitable for projects across all genres of miniature painting, from historical and military figures to fantasy creatures and sci-fi models.

The Flexible Colour Triad System is a segment, or family, of six colours that range from dark to light with a consistent hue. This system allows you to easily select paints that create a natural colour progression on your miniatures. This is an easy way to create a colour scheme for your miniature when army painting because you always have 27 Flexible Triads to choose from instead of mixing colours.

The system builds upon the traditional triad system by introducing more versatility and adaptability in colour selection, expanding the conventional three colours to six. This gives you almost endless possibilities for putting colours together within the triad.

When using a triad system, you usually select 3 colours (a base, a shade, and a highlight), depending on the level of contrast you want on your miniature. For instance, for minimal contrast, opt for 3 adjacent colours to achieve a smooth colour transition. For maximum contrast, use the lightest, middle, and darkest colour available in the flexible triad.
