Citadel Contrast Blues & Turquoises

Vibrant Cool Tones with Citadel Contrast Technology

The Citadel Contrast Blue & Turquoise range is an essential tool for hobbyists painting majestic armor, mystical energy, or natural aquatic environments. Designed to provide a rich base coat, deep shading, and sharp highlights in a single application, these paints deliver professional results in a fraction of the time. From the electric intensity of Talassar Blue to the ethereal glow of Aethermatic Blue, these cool tones offer unmatched versatility for any project.

The Contrast Advantage for Cool Palettes:

  • Ethereal & Magical Effects: Perfect for ghostly apparitions or glowing weapons—favorites like Pylar Glacier and Frostheart provide instant crystalline depth.
  • Regal Armor & Uniforms: Achieve deep, consistent blues for space marines or historical figures with Ultramarines Blue and Leviadon Blue, flowing perfectly into panel lines and folds.
  • Exotic & Natural Textures: Use Terradon Turquoise or Akhelian Green for high-impact biological details, alien scales, or tropical water effects.
  • Smooth, Streak-Free Finishes: Engineered to eliminate the difficulty often found with traditional blue pigments, ensuring a vibrant, professional finish across your entire army.

Pro-Tip for Maximum Vibrancy:

Contrast Blues and Turquoises are highly reactive to their undercoat. We recommend using White Scar for maximum "pop" and energy effects, or Grey Seer to give your cool tones a more industrial, moody, or realistic appearance.
