Turkey and Spain Colors

[HBG]

What color do you paint your Turkish and Spanish Armies?
I was thinking of red for both of them.
What do you do?

[Imperious Leader]

No way. Spain should be a pale yellow, Turkey a shade of light brown.

Red would only be good for communist Chinese.

I considered the yellow and like it, but Turkey as a light brown, between Italy and Russia , another brown is troublesome on the eyes.

Which infantry do you use to represent Trukish and Spanish armies?

[HBG]

I Plan on using German pieces.

[cminke]

use germans for spain but consider itaians of turks

[Orizen]

I’ve used yellow colored Xeno pieces for Spain and light-reddish colored Xeno pieces for Turkey in the past.

[HBG]

I like the idea of a yellow for Spain using German pieces, and a light red or red for turkey using italian pieces.

[Lunarwolf]

i thought your Romanians were yellow

[HBG]

I could use a softer yellOw for Spain, there are only so many colors to choose from unless we start using purple, pink, mint green . LOL

Shouldn’t Turkey be turquoise?

[AG124]

I like IL’s suggestion of light yellow for the Spanish.

I was just scrolling down the thread to suggest turquoise for the Turkish (I had suggested for the Australians in the past before grey became the established colour for them) when I saw that Redking beat me to it. :-D Anyway, I do think it would be a good idea, if not for the Turkish then at least for another nation.

In relation to Red, I think I should point out that the FMG Soviet pieces will match the FMG Soviet dice, which are solid red and not reddish-brown.

While we are discussing colours, maybe we could suggest a list of possible remaining colours for HBG pieces, if more are needed (some of these have been suggested here previously):

Dark Grey-Green
Orange-Red (different enough to distinguish from FMG Soviet Red and OOB/FMG Japanese Orange, as necessary)
Yellow-Orange
Turquoise
Dark Navy Blue
Pale Grey-Blue
Pale Orange
Dark Yellow (but as dull as possible)

I would prefer to avoid bright and/or neon colours, together with pink and purple (although a dark or grey-ish purple might work if one was desperate for a new colour).
