Royal Blue is a deep, saturated blue with a classic and regal look. It's an excellent choice for painting military uniforms, heraldic elements, vehicles, or any detail that calls for a strong, elegant blue tone. Its matte finish and rich pigmentation make it a favorite among miniature painters and modelers alike.

The paint has a smooth, consistent texture and applies easily with a brush, drying to a clean matte surface with no visible brush strokes. This makes it perfect as a basecoat or part of a more complex layering approach. Like all opaque colors in the Model Color range, Royal Blue is highly pigmented and completely lightfast.

Royal Blue can be thinned with water or mixed with mediums like matte medium or glaze medium to create transparent effects. This is ideal for layering, blending, and creating subtle transitions in color. Techniques like edge highlighting, glazing, or modulation benefit greatly from this kind of control and versatility.

In diorama work, this color is great for painting banners, fabrics, armor trim, or even the upholstery of vehicles. It pairs well with neutral tones such as gray, white, or beige, and offers strong contrast when used alongside warmer colors like orange or gold. Whether you’re painting historical troops or fantasy armies, Royal Blue brings a striking balance of depth and intensity.

The paint is packaged in a practical 18ml r-PET bottle with an eyedropper tip that helps control how much paint you use and keeps the contents fresher for longer. If the dropper becomes clogged, a needle or toothpick will easily clear it out.

Professional painters often recommend using a damp brush and working in multiple thin layers to build color without obscuring fine model details. To add extra depth, you can highlight Royal Blue with lighter tones such as Sky Blue or Pastel Blue, enhancing volumes and visual interest.
