About Vallejo 77109 Celestial Violet:

Celestial Violet is a radiant metallic highlight colour designed to brighten BASE tones in the violet–lavender–cool spectrum. Its ultra-fine pigment provides smooth transitions, crisp edge highlights, and natural points of light reflection with minimal visible brush texture.

It excels on raised armour sections, futuristic plating, magical constructs, ornate details, and any cool-tinted metal surface requiring vivid, luminous accents.

About Vallejo True Metallic Metal (TMM):

True Metallic Metal (TMM) uses genuine metallic pigments to create natural shine and reflective behaviour on miniature surfaces. Unlike NMM, TMM preserves the authentic metallic look while still supporting classical shading and highlighting techniques for depth and volume.

The BSL structure (Base – Shade – Light) organizes the range:

• BASE: strong-coverage metallic base colours.
• SHADE: satin washes for deepening shadows.
• LIGHT: bright metallic highlight tones — including Celestial Violet.
• AIRBRUSH: airbrush-ready BASE equivalents.

This integrated system enables painters to build realistic reflections, depth, and clear light definition while maintaining the brilliance of true metallic pigment.

Usage tips:

• Shake thoroughly before use.
• Apply over BASE metallic purples, violets, or cool tones.
• Use fine brushes for edge highlights and precise reflective points.
• Thin with water or Vallejo acrylic thinner for smoother blending.
• For airbrush: 0.3 mm needle and approx. 2 bar (29 psi).
