From what the company described they have release a serie of base colours and after that 2 layer colours for each base to make highlights. OK but I cant find somewhere to describe the match of the base colour to the layer colours.

So I tried to figure it out, I think they have em in a logical order from here
http://www.games-workshop.com/en-EU/Citadel-Base

to here
http://www.games-workshop.com/en-EU/Citadel-Layer

For example:

Mephiston red(base) -> Evil sunz scarlet(layer 1) , Wild rider red(layer 2)
or
Castellan green(base) -> Loren forest(layer1) , Straken green(layer 2)


Am I correct? Anyone found somewhere that those things are written?

Most of the common layers are in the How to Paint guide they sell (the one with the DVD), or in white dwarf weekly now with each release.

Most of their schemes though go base, shade, layer which is a peculiar way to do it as they darken the base to apply a lighter layer?

Surely it should go Base, shade, base, layer.

Most are easier to judge for yourself using the colours, like the example you gave they are sort of designed in small groups.

If there's a certain combination you're after I can look in the book no problem :)

I dont know about their guide but in the last white dwarf I couldnt find what i want. They give only certain base and layer matches for certain models.

I just want the name of the base colour and the name of his layer paints. A table with all of em. In their videos they explain that every base colour has 2 layer colours to highlight it. Ok so what are the names of those colours for each colour? :s
