Hi all, I would like to do very basic repainting for some artillery pieces of several countires. So my poor skills would allow me to do almost nothing but to adjust Hue/Saturation/Lightness through PAINT.NET
The problem is, for example: I want italian guns to have as close as possible historically true "european" color (and I have no idea which it was) instead of desert camo but it should be somehow different from soviet or hungarian to be clearly distinguishable. Which settings would be suitable for this particular case in your opinion? Thanks in advance!

"Hey, send me a real picture and I'll make it for you, including the colors, in the same style I use for my units, if you want..."
