Alright Homestuck cosplayers, this one is for you. Many of the trolls have short sleeves or are showing their legs. Now, that is a lot of wasted paint because you'll have to re-apply it through out the day and you'll have to make sure it's all sealed and that you aren't bumping into anyone.
To avoid this hassle, the picture to the left compares the two paints and two of We Love Color's tights. You can use the tights to create armsocks and to wear them as, of course, tights.
Ben Nye Grey matches well with WLC's Grey tights and then Snazaroo Grey matches well with WLC's Light Grey tights.
Please note that Ben Nye colors are oil based, which means that you can get wet and the water shouldn't affect it much, while Snazaroo is water based and you won't be able to get wet. Mehron is also another alternative. Be sure to do your research on what paint will best suit you and always be sure to seal it.
Also, Cheyenne uses Snazaroo for her troll paint while Margarette and Sam use Ben Nye in Ghoul Grey (BN Ghoul Grey is light than BN Grey). Feel free to ask them about their opinions on their choice paint.

"I made you a referenceThe Ben Nye is UNALTERED GRAY. If you mix Ben Nye Gray and White, you will get something very similar to Snazaroo but maybe a tinge darker? I’ve only seen someone do it, so I haven’t compared yet. I’m about to experiment with it but I didn’t particularly feel like mixing it up for a middle stripe when I’m really just trying to match tights.
However, on the tights, neither of these are an exact match. The WLC Gray is actually a bit between the two paints and the Light Gray is just a bit too light for Snazaroo.
As you can kinda see in this picture with my yaoi boat hands. However, the WLC tights are a near perfect shade of gray in tone AND they’re great quality, so they’re pretty nice and probably the best option for arm socks. "
