VF-1D colors.. which ones best fit?

[DatterBoy]

What do you guys think? I'm thinking Pumpkin Orange and Buttercream.

Fusion Palette

Afraid the Buttercream may be a bit yellow though. Satin Almond would be another option but I am afraid it would be too brown. Based on what I have read, Fusion oand Plastikote is the wasy to go, but the colors are pretty limited and I don't want to go to traditional enamels since I'm afraid it will thicken upi the toy too much.

I think using Pumpkin Orange is an excellent choice. Buttercream is good if your going for the Yamato colors, but by my preferance I'd go with the Satin Almond.

NOTE: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SPRAY THE COLOR ON THICK, LIGHT COATS WILL DO JUST FINE.

i personally like the buttercream and if you spray on a light coat it might not look as bright. The satin almond is just a little bit too less saturation in the color. A mix of both would probably be best

The Dover White actually looks pretty close to me.

I'd almost use the Satin Khaki, but really depends on what you are looking for. Toy versions have that light cream color, but the tv show portrays a khaki, or light brown color. I like the contrast better of the khaki and orange, but that's me
