Green Sky is a soft blue-green shade from the Vallejo Model Color range, offering a fresh, natural look. This matte tone is ideal for everything from vehicle panels and sci-fi armor to elven gear, fantasy terrain, or highlights on skin, fabric, and ornamental details. Its unique hue stands out subtly, providing an appealing alternative to standard blue or green tones.
Formulated with permanent pigments, Green Sky is fully lightfast and opaque, offering dependable coverage and long-term color retention even for high-use miniatures or display pieces. It brushes on smoothly, dries to a matte finish, and builds beautifully in thin layers without leaving brush marks.
One of Green Sky’s strengths lies in how well it pairs with other colors from the Model Color range. As a highlight, it layers well over 70970 Deep Green. For pastel tones or bright transitions, mix it with 70951 White to create soft glows or reflections on armor or cloth.
For deeper, cooler shadows, 70965 Prussian Blue provides excellent contrast while maintaining harmony. In more realistic or military palettes, Green Sky complements neutrals like 70886 Green Grey and 70973 Light Sea Grey.
In fantasy contexts, Green Sky is a popular choice for magical lighting—on runes, energy fields, or ornate accessories. In sci-fi settings, it often features on advanced armor plating or cybernetic gear. For dioramas, it works well for stylized foliage, architectural flourishes, or worn details in post-apocalyptic scenes.
The paint comes in an 18ml r-PET bottle with an eyedropper cap, allowing for easy and hygienic dispensing. This helps avoid waste and ensures accurate measurement when mixing or applying paint to your palette. If the nozzle clogs, a simple poke with a needle or toothpick clears it quickly.
As with all Vallejo Model Color paints, Green Sky is easy to correct while wet—just a bit of water or alcohol is enough to fix any slip-ups. It’s a friendly and flexible paint for artists of all skill levels looking for a soft, versatile, and refreshing shade to expand their palette.
