Why Use Citadel Contrast Colors?

What’s in This Collection?

  • Iconic army colors – Blood Angels Red, Black Templar, Apothecary White, Gryph-Hound Orange, and more for armor, cloaks, and details.
  • Broad spectrum of tones – From skin-friendly hues to mystical blues, greens, and violets for fantasy and sci-fi miniatures.

How to Use Citadel Contrast Colors

  • Apply over a light, smooth primer (such as Wraithbone or Grey Seer) for best contrast and saturation.
  • Load the brush generously, then move the paint around quickly to avoid pooling where you don’t want it.
  • Let each coat dry fully before adding more layers or highlights.
  • Combine with traditional Base, Layer, and Shade paints for refined edge highlights and extra depth.
  • Use zenithal priming or pre-shading to push Contrast highlights even further.
