Re: What color for blonde?
I used to use Snakebite Leather and go up to...the Khaki colour? Mixed with a little white, maybe?
I am always in the market for weird and wonderful GW oddbitz and ephemera. PM me if you have something old/weird/rare.

bone with just a touch of yellow. shade by adding an orange brown (i.e. nothing too red or too cold)

scorched brown (don't remember the new GW name)/burnt umber is an example what I'd consider a cold brown. Desaturated, dark, I think there might be some blue in it to get it that dark.
