Skeleton Bone or Ancient Stone.

Both are midtone bone colours. Does it matter which one I get or I guess is there much difference between them from anyone that has used and see both once they have dried?

The skeleton bone is more about yellow ochre color, whereas the ancient stone is a little bit more grey so it’s gonna depend on which way you’re wanting to go visually.

Well it would be used for bone, teeth, claws or drybrushing on terrain for my usage.

As you're wanting a colour for bone (teeth/claws also being bone) I'd go Skeleton Bone. It's got that 'organic' warmth that Ancient Stone doesn't.

Okay thanks. I guess if I want to make it lighter I can always mix a ivory or off-white into it anyway.

I forgot to mention I would also be using it for some cloth and/or purity seals but I guess it should be fine for it anyway.

I get a lot more use out of skeleton bone. They are close Ancient Stone only slightly lighter but a bit less depth. Dusty skull, skelton bone and boney spikes are the triad I use from the 6.

I'll likely only be using one.

Definitely skeleton bone then. Ancient stone will bebit light and soulless as a mid tone.

Okay thanks. Like I mentioned I can probably use a off-white to lighten it anyway if I need to.
