Introducing the Bear Cavalry Color System

(Based on the Munsell Color System, built for miniature wargamers who actually paint)

Color theory doesn’t have to feel like art school. At Bear Cavalry Paints, we built our Color System on the same backbone used by artists and pigment scientists, the Munsell Color System, and then tuned it for how we actually paint miniatures.

Munsell breaks color down into three simple ideas: Hue (what color it is), Value (how light or dark it is), and Chroma (how intense or muted it is). We took those ideas out of the textbook and put them on your bench where they belong.

Every color in our range is swatched over both white and black, shown with a single brush stroke. No airbrushing. No filters. Just what the paint actually looks like in your hand. It’s the most honest way to show you what you’re working with.

We’re in the process of developing a full Bear Cavalry Color System that will organize every hue by its value and purpose in the hobby world, not in a lab. Until then, every paint we make fits right into that framework, so you’ll always know how it behaves when you thin it, mix it, or drop it over a different basecoat.

Our goal is simple: give you artist-grade color that performs in the real world under hobby lamps, late nights, and coffee-fueled paint jams.

This isn’t theory for theory’s sake.

It’s color strategy for hobby warfare.

Bear Cavalry Paints. Paint like an artist. Fight like a general.
