The palette of Carnival
Posted: Fri Nov 14, 2025 4:34 pm
I recently got some printed miniatures in the style of a carnival. Wagon stages, a fortune tellers wagon, etc. I'm getting ready to paint and prime them to use as Isolde's carnival, and realized I dont know if the color scheme of it is ever explicitly mentioned. I know the real world palettes that usually get used, ie red and gold or, for a more Mardi grass vibe, green gold and purple. But I really was thinking of using a darker color scheme, with trimmings of UV reactive paint to create a more mystical, almost otherworldly vibe. I'm very new to painting miniatures, and I would love any ideas or input people could give.
