I’m increasingly finding the Citadel App to be way off for colours that resemble “official” GW schemes. Take this example for the Volkus terrain - the door. The app states a base of Caliban Green, shaded of Nuln Oil, then highlighted Warpstone Glow and Moot Green. But that won’t look like this! - ThreadSky

That will give you something more akin to the warpstone effect seen with Skaven. It’s a classic triad, but you’ll end up with a very nuclear green.

The “correct” green here would be Sons of Horus Green, as they advise on their YouTube tutorial. You will frequently find that the app and videos say two completely different things. I also note that the tutorials often push Contrast Paints quite heavily too; they’re a matter of personal taste.

Unfortunately it means that beginners can’t expect to replicate exactly what they see on the box by following the app that purports to tell them what to do. Instead, the app has standard triads (e.g. Caliban Green always being highlighted by Warpstone Glow and Moot Green) that often aren’t “right”.

“Burgundy”, as a colour, is often suggested to be Khorne Red, highlighted by Wazdakka Red and Squig Orange. This will not give you a maroon effect.

Unfortunately the only way to know for sure is to check several sources and rely on your own experience.

It also tells you to base miniatures in Astrogranite or Stirland Mud - even if they don’t have bases.

I really think the Citadel app could be so much better. It’s particularly galling that it’s “wrong” even on their latest models.

It’s an app with very little care or attention to detail.
