Zombie Face,Pale,Rotten Colors
About This Color Palette
Applying colors from your “Zombie Apocalypse” palette to miniatures can be a fun and creative process! Here are some steps and techniques to help you successfully paint your miniatures using these colors:
- Preparation:
- Clean your miniature to remove any dust or oils. Use warm soapy water and let it dry completely.
- If the miniature is made of plastic or resin, consider priming it with a spray primer to help the paint adhere better.
- Base Coating:
- Start by applying a base coat with a larger brush. For example, use “Pale Flesh” ( #E7C6A9 ) for the skin areas.
- Thin your paint with a little water or medium to achieve a smoother application.
- Layering:
- Once the base coat is dry, you can add layers of color. Use “Rotten Green” ( #A7BBA0 ) for clothing or accessories to give it a tattered and worn look.
- Apply a thin layer of “Moldy Gray” ( #B0B3B5 ) to highlight areas that would naturally catch light, like the tops of shoulders or the edges of clothing.
- Shading:
- To add depth, use darker colors like “Decayed Brown” ( #7A4D3A ) for shadows. Thin the paint and apply it in the recesses of the miniature to create a shadow effect.
- You can also use washes (thinned paint) to add depth and highlight details.
- Details:
- For eyes, teeth, or other small details, you can use “Blood Red” ( #C72C41 ) to give a striking contrast. Use a fine brush for precision.
- You might also want to add small touches of “Rotten Green” for decay effects on clothing or accessories.
- Dry Brushing:
- For a weathered look, use the dry brushing technique with lighter shades from your palette. Dip a dry brush into a little paint and then wipe most of it off before lightly brushing it over raised surfaces.
- Finishing Touches:
- Once you’re satisfied with the colors, consider sealing your miniature with a matte or satin varnish to protect the paint and give it a finished look.
- Experiment:
- Don’t hesitate to experiment with mixing colors or creating washes for additional effects. The zombie theme is all about creativity!

Understanding Contrast Ratios
4.5:1 (Level AA)
The minimum required contrast ratio for normal text to be considered accessible under WCAG 2.1 Level AA. For large text, the requirement is lower at 3.0:1. This is the standard target for most web content.
7.0:1 (Level AAA)
The "gold standard" for accessibility. Achieving a 7.0:1 ratio ensures that your text is readable even for people with significant vision loss. For large text, the AAA requirement is 4.5:1.
What counts as Large Text?
WCAG defines large text as anything 18pt (approx. 24px) or larger, or 14pt (approx. 18.66px) and bold or larger. Most headings fall into this category.
Why it matters
Proper contrast is essential for everyone, but especially for people with color blindness, low vision, or those viewing screens in bright sunlight.
