    Vallejo Scurvy Green - an amazing color that can be used to add depth to just about anything.

    AK Light Flesh - a great off white to mix into other paints for highlighting

    Vallejo Metal color Silver - the best metallic paint than can be covered with inks or contrast to creat any metal color.

    Contrast Blood Angels Red - a way to bring the red richness back with glazing

    Vallejo Game Color Lustful purple – a interesting base shade for whites. Highlight up with Light Flesh for an interesting white.

      Vallejo Metal color Silver- I second this. Especially the “metallic air” series. One coat solid coverage, and it can be brushed on.

    Vallejo Model Color Black: It’s a bit boring to say, but it’s definitely my most used color.

    Vallejo Game Color Scrofulous Brown: Great for my Yu Jing, but also pus, fire OSL, Gold NMM, and various other applications. It’s so nice in a glaze.

    Citadel Doombull Brown: It’s just a very satisfying color for me. I use it all the time, especially for leathers and the occasional rust.

    AK’s Ice Yellow. When in doubt, I just mix this in for a highlight color.

    Dark Reaper / Dark Sea Blue. I just need a dark blue-gray all the time either as a shadow color or as the first highlight for black.

    Honorable mention: Blood for the Blood God.

      Shoot I forgot about doombull brown and rhinox hide in my list. They’re great workhorses.

      Ice yellow is also great! I’ll have to try out your other recs

    I really like Vallejo burnt red.

    Vallejo black (super basic I know)

    Vallejo German cammo dark green

    Vallejo Metal Color gunmetal grey

    Citidel Retributor armor.

    These are just the ones I use a lot and enjoy using. I also really like ProAcryl for vivid base coats. Citidel paints are great for dry brushing. Don’t use contrast very often but recently discovered that I get really nice yellows by painting something skin tones and shading before finishing with one of citidel’s yellow contrast paints.
