Hi
Does anyone have a suggestion for a Vallejo paint for the French overcoats? I have though Dark prussian or just Dark Blue.
Thanks
Simon
For the overcoat I would recommend neither. The French tunic was dark blue, and your choices would work for that, but the greatcoat was much lighter. Sorry, I cannot recall what I used for mine, might have been medium blue, at least for the highlights!

All of mine are in coat d'arms deadly nightshade, black washed then highlighted
I use a thin layer of Dark Blue Grey and then a Vallejo Blue wash on top
Are there any color uniform plates out there showing the French in overcoats? I'm about to paint some of them and am glad I saw this post first. I just want to be sure I get the color reasonably correct.
This is a tricky one because contemporary plates tend to show either a mid or even light blue. However contemporary artists, eg. de Neuville show it as a very definite darker bluish-grey. I have adopted the following which works well - Vallejo Oxford Blue 70807 dry brushed with Dark Blue Grey 70904.
