Vallejo Model Color Ice Yellow is a versatile light yellow acrylic paint, specifically designed for miniature and model painting. This paint is part of Vallejo's renowned Model Color range, offering excellent coverage, a matte finish, and a smooth, streak-free application. Thanks to its pigment-rich formula, Ice Yellow is fully lightfast and opaque, except for transparent and fluorescent shades.
The color Ice Yellow (70858) is comparable to Humbrol 74. This soft, light yellow shade is ideal for highlighting brown or beige surfaces, creating subtle light effects on clothing or dioramas, or painting weathered and aged details like sun-damaged wood or stone. Ice Yellow also works brilliantly as a base color for complex blends or shadows in light pastel tones.
The paint can be easily thinned with water or mediums like matte medium, allowing for fine layers, shadows, and glazes. Professional painters often apply it in thin layers with a wet brush to create depth and realism. Mistakes can be quickly and easily corrected with water or a bit of alcohol, provided they are addressed immediately.
Ice Yellow comes in a sustainable 18ml r-PET bottle with a convenient eyedropper. This design ensures precise dosing and minimizes paint waste. If the nozzle becomes clogged, it can be easily cleared with a needle or toothpick.
Vallejo's Model Color range is developed in collaboration with leading miniature painters worldwide. The series offers an extensive collection of colors, mediums, and varnishes, specifically designed for precision work and creative freedom. Ice Yellow is an essential paint for anyone seeking a high-quality, versatile color for their projects.
