The Story
Reds and skin tones are the classic trap for a black wash — it just deadens them. Carmine Dawn is the Deep Shade built for exactly those colours, flowing warm shadow into the recesses of orange, red and flesh without muddying the whole thing. Base, shade, highlight and your warm-toned miniatures pop instead of sulk.
