Looking for bright colours

[FAB]

I really need to purchase a bright light green, light yellow and light blue, even fluoro would do.
I normally use Vallejo or GW paints but I'm happy to go outside those brands if you can recommend something really bright.
I want a bright starting point that I can work up on the pallette.
GW used to do a really bright light green paint, even brighter than scorpion green, but not any longer. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Have you considered something out of the Daler Rowney acrylic ink range?  They are bright and highly pigmented.  They should work up well on a white ground.  I find the orange and yellow better than any modellers paint I’ve used.

Thank you for the heads up, I shall go and have a look, thank you.
Do they behave like a regular paint or is there some trick to employing them successfully.

If it’s any help the older range of GW paints (when they were good) are still available from Coat D’Arms which are owned and distributed by Black Hat games in the U.K. I’ve also bought some Pro Acryl recently (excellent) and their colours are strong/vibrant so that range may be worth investigating.

GW Moot Green is horrifically bright

Miniature Paints used to have some silly bright colours. This was a few years ago now although it might be worth a look.

It doesn't look that bright just looking at the pot... is it brighter when it comes out of the pot?

Thank you, I'll go and have a look.

The Light Blue and Bavarian Blue are very bright.

I used them on this figure.


I have Miniature Paints too, from Ral Partha Europe.  Very bright.

Be aware though these ranges are usually much thinner than VM, for example and are not matt.  (I use straight from the bottle so thick enough and my style requires several layers anyway.  And I always varnish my figures to a matt finish.)

Any brighter would be neon…

Either inks or the Golden High Glow acrylics. Both have awesome coverage  and are vibrant. Airbrush them or combine with medium to thicken them up a but

Very clever use of pale colours, really makes them pop!

Thanks for the information, and a lovely quality paint job.

Hi bud.  The Daler Rowney inks work very much like normal thinned paint.  They go on smoothly and dry quickly.  Wash brushes with water and Masters brush cleaner, just like normal…..
