There is no official color.

Most of us use Rust-Oleum's Claret Wine.


It has a more Reddish Color, the the Purple in the official CG Galactic Marine image above. 501st approves the Claret Wine for the GM armor. Which on screen (ROTS) the were the Reddish Color and not Purple. The only thime they appear Purple is on the Offical image and the action figure. Even the Gentle Giant bust is Reddish.

Here's what the Claret Wine looks on my GM:

Here's why:











As you guys already know, lighting & weathering can effect the overall look of the color. All that considered, I still think it is pretty close to the mark.

we used claret wine on ours with a base coat of black or on some of my armour I formed i made it in black plastic. Then when dry a light sanding with a fine grade sanding block. it came up a treat!

I couldn't find Rich Raisin samples, but took a bunch of other prospective colors. I might take the image in to see if they can color-match it. If not, I'll end up going witht the black primer/claret wine combo.
