Hot on the heals of Spideyfett's ESB colour list post, here's the list i came up with for AOSW Humbrol colours!
I pretty much bought all the greens available and set about layering them on top of each other on test strips, then applying different weathering techniques to achieve what i saw as a close match. The aim was to also achieve the chameleon like effect of the different hews of greens as you viewed the pieces from other angles.
