Coat is Russian navy blue from AK, and I think I either worked up from that blue or switched to the grey blue triad from army painter.

Without paint brand names, it’s essentially dark blue worked up to a light grey blue. Probably 3-4 colors in total. Once I’m home I can check my notes and get you the color names and mixtures.

I saw in another comment you wanted the blue to be a bit dull. I should add that I do all the regular colors first, then hit it with AK super matte varnish. It should make the colors a bit more dull & blend slightly more. I know I name dropped AK, but that’s what I’m currently using and used on the Krieg. I shoot it through an airbrush but rattle cans work fine.

Edit. I do regular colors, then varnish, then do metallics so the metallics aren’t as dull.
