Reference the action pack scheme-- I thought I saw mentioned in another thread somewhere that it was VMC Ivory, but couldn't track it back down to confirm. Anyone know offhand? Thanks!
No is just a white normal but with a airbrush. Personally I redid his scheme without ivory, however since he painted the assassin creed range, he tends to do an Ivory step.

Great info, thanks for pulling all that together. Always struggled relatively speaking with reds and whites so painting JSA is going to be interesting.
Normally if you study the different theories on the Laws of simultaneous color contrasts, you should understand your blocking points, for white (and black), it's an illusion trick (which works very well at our scale <54mm), you think you perceive white and black as 2 distinct "colors", but in fact it's more complex than that, to paint this "color" you have to be patient, you'll perceive the result at the end of the work and not during the process. Globally taking the recipe of the shade of gray, we paint the white (with a brush): On a base of grey white (72.047 Game Color Wolf Grey Color) With the edges in white. The shadows by washing with neutral gray. Hollows with grey+black if hollow of armor plate, or folds of very tight clothes if near a greyed zone). You can enhance the areas exposed to highlight with white glazes and blend in the white gray if intermediate tones are needed. If 66-80% of the final area is grey white with white edges, you will see white with volume through the grey shadows. If your area turns more grey, then your brain will start to feel like it is perceiving grey. Technically as the name suggests and as you can see by looking at the bottle, when you look at grey white, you see grey directly and you say it will never work for white, at best it can be used to make a shadow, but that's the trick, near a neutral grey and black, this grey white will pass for a pure white for an ordinary human brain. This allows you to use this grey to process the base color and keep the pure white to define the very exposed volumes and edges. However, as I have outlined, there is a caveat, as the larger the scale to be painted, the less this method works, if this grey looks white on a 32mm mini will look grey at 120mm or a model, because your eye perceives the contrasts better due to the size of the areas. As you can see below, more contrast is strong, more the grey white looks white. For color red is same storie, if you have instagram, take a look at the account of : Elaminiasturista, he has an easy, quick and satisfying method (you can replace airbrush phases with transparent paints type contrast gw, scale75, AP, etc). https://www.instagram.com/p/CYRPbnYNm39/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CXgbFqfIAdp/
