Black Green is a deep, forest-inspired shade from Vallejo’s Model Color range. With its muted black-green tone, this color is perfect for miniature painters who want a realistic, dark hue with a subtle green undertone. It’s great for painting shadows, camouflage, dark clothing, armor, or natural elements in scenic builds.
Formulated with permanent pigments and fully lightfast, this paint offers reliable long-term color. Its matte finish enhances realism, especially in military or post-apocalyptic settings. Thanks to its smooth consistency, Black Green applies easily with a brush and dries without visible strokes, even in fine detail work.
Black Green is incredibly versatile. Use it as a base color for tanks, aircraft, or fantasy figures with a moody vibe. Pair with 70970 Deep Green or 70969 Park Green Flat to build natural tone transitions. For highlights, layer with 70951 White or 70837 Pale Green to add light effects on edges or raised textures.
In sci-fi or urban themes, Black Green works well alongside cool metallics like 70863 Gunmetal Grey or neutrals like 70990 Light Grey. It’s also excellent for basework or scenery elements like moss, shaded vegetation, or aged steel with a weathered greenish cast.
This color is flexible in use. Thin it with water or glaze medium for transparent shadow layers or panel lining. Its matte finish keeps detail visible and minimizes glare—especially useful for photography and display miniatures.
Each bottle contains 18ml of paint in a recyclable r-PET dropper bottle for precise dispensing and long-lasting use. If the nozzle clogs, simply clear it with a needle or toothpick.
Black Green is appreciated by hobbyists of all levels for its user-friendly handling and broad application. Whether you're aiming for subtle camo tones or deep shading without using pure black, this paint is a must-have addition to your painting toolkit.
