Deep Green is a rich, dark shade in the Vallejo Model Color range, crafted for painters who want to bring depth and realism to their miniatures and scale models. This matte green is perfect for military vehicles, uniforms, forest dioramas, and camouflage schemes. Its deep tone adds instant weight and character to any project.
The paint is fully lightfast and made with permanent pigments for excellent coverage and long-term color stability. Its smooth consistency allows it to be layered thinly while maintaining control over detail. It dries to a matte finish and leaves no visible brush marks, making it great for precise and fine painting techniques.
Deep Green pairs beautifully with other shades in the Model Color line. For highlights or lighter tones, try 70969 Park Green Flat or 70974 Green Sky. For deeper shadows, 70965 Prussian Blue creates cold, intense contrasts. You can also mix with 70951 White or layer with 70837 Pale Green for subtle highlights.
In dioramas, Deep Green excels for painting trees, shrubs, ground cover, or ivy details. Its rich tone also works well as a base for reptilian skin, elven armor, camouflage outfits, or fantasy plant life. Even in sci-fi settings, Deep Green can function as a muted tone for tactical gear, vehicles, or military-style structures.
The matte finish makes it easier to control highlight placement, especially when using drybrushing, layering, or edge highlighting. As a glaze, Deep Green is ideal for intensifying shadows or accentuating panel lines—just thin it with water or glaze medium for smoother transitions.
This paint comes in an 18ml r-PET bottle with a dropper tip, making it easy to measure and mix paint without waste. The packaging helps preserve the paint and keeps your workspace clean. If the nozzle gets clogged, you can easily clear it with a toothpick or needle.
As with all Model Color paints, Deep Green is suitable for beginners and experienced hobbyists alike. Mistakes are easy to correct while the paint is still wet using water or alcohol. It’s a reliable and versatile color that’s essential for anyone painting with natural, muted tones.
