Intermediate Green is a soft, natural green from the Vallejo Model Color range. This shade is especially popular among modelers and miniature painters focused on historical subjects, particularly World War II. As part of the Panzer Series, it was developed in collaboration with Panzer Aces Magazine to provide accurate tones for uniforms and vehicles.
Sitting between moss green and olive, this tone has a balanced, neutral appearance that works well for uniforms, light vehicles, field gear, or scenic elements. Its matte finish and fine pigment structure allow for smooth, streak-free brush application. Even in thin layers, the coverage remains strong and consistent.
Formulated with permanent pigments, Intermediate Green is fully lightfast and color-stable, even under long-term exposure or varnishing. The paint handles well with a brush and can be thinned with water or medium for techniques such as glazing or filtering. For highlights, mix with 70951 White or 70837 Pale Green to create natural light transitions.
This color pairs beautifully with other greens in the Model Color lineup. Use 70970 Deep Green for shadows, or 70969 Park Green Flat as a layering tone. For color contrast, combine with earth tones like 70871 Leather Brown or 70982 Cavalry Brown, especially when painting infantry or base elements in dioramas.
Outside of WWII and historical use, Intermediate Green is excellent for forest-based themes in fantasy and sci-fi—ideal for elven armor, foliage, or light camouflage on tactical vehicles. Its neutral undertone ensures a grounded look that avoids oversaturation.
The paint comes in an 18ml r-PET bottle with a precision dropper cap for clean and controlled dispensing. This design prevents waste and makes color mixing easier and tidier. If the nozzle clogs, a quick clean with a needle or toothpick solves the issue.
Intermediate Green is a versatile, essential shade for hobbyists who paint with realism in mind. Whether you're recreating historic accuracy or building natural landscapes, it provides depth, subtlety, and adaptability in every layer.
