Product description

This product comes as a single 18ml paint pot containing Citadel’s Contrast formulation in the Striking Scorpion Green shade. The pot is the standard plastic style used by the range and is sized for hobby use — 18 milliliters of water-based paint are included.

The Contrast line is engineered so that when you apply the paint over a light Contrast undercoat, it deposits both color and shading in one pass. The formula is water-based, so it thins and cleans with water, and is intended to give a vivid base layer plus natural shadows and highlights without extensive layering.

Use it directly from the pot with a brush over a pale undercoat to achieve quick coverage with tonal variation. It’s suitable for miniatures and models where you want a bold green base and built-in shading; after the paint has fully cured, many hobbyists add a clear coat to protect the finish.
