I made a quick mock-up in the Gimp (based on the previous work-in-progress photo) to test out my color options for the cloak, sash, and band on the hat. You’ll have to forgive me, my Gimp skills are lacking as I am more of a Photoshop person.
I narrowed down my color selection to purple and red. Let me know which color you like better. Note that virtually everyone that paints this miniature chooses red. I thought purple would be a nice contrast, but I cannot dismiss the notion that red does work very well on this mini.
As this is just a quick mock-up, you’ll have to use your imagination when it comes to the contrast and saturation of the colors. Here they tend to look flat, but the finished miniature will have greater depth and variation.
Thank you for your input.
