Citadel Contrast Reds, Oranges & Magentas

Vibrant Warm Tones with Citadel Contrast Technology

The Citadel Contrast range is a revolutionary tool for hobbyists and miniature painters. Specifically designed to provide a base coat, shade, and highlight all in a single application, these Reds, Oranges, and Magentas deliver intense saturation and natural depth. Whether you are painting a legion of space marines or a fiery dragon, Contrast paint dramatically reduces your time at the hobby desk without sacrificing quality.

The Contrast Advantage:

  • One-Coat Magic: Formulated to flow into the recesses of your models for deep shading while leaving a thin, vibrant layer on the raised surfaces for natural highlighting.
  • Intense Warm Palettes: Featuring fan favorites like Blood Angels Red, Baal Red, and Magmadroth Flame for striking, high-visibility results.
  • Smooth Application: Engineered to eliminate the need for traditional multiple layering steps, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced speed-painters.
  • Intermixable: Easily blend with other Contrast colors or thin with Contrast Medium for custom glazes and transitions.

Best Results with Primers:

For the most vibrant results, we recommend applying these colors over a smooth undercoat of White Scar, Wraithbone, or Grey Seer aerosols. This ensures the transparent properties of the Contrast paint can shine through for maximum depth.
