About Vallejo 77116 Greenish Gold:

Greenish Gold is a luminous metallic highlight shade designed to brighten BASE tones in the gold–warm–green metallic spectrum. Its ultra-fine pigment structure allows for smooth transitions, precise edge highlights, and brilliant light points with minimal visible brush texture.

It works exceptionally well on ornamental armour, decorated weapons, fantasy equipment, mechanical pieces, and any gold-toned metal surface requiring a refined, cool-hued reflective accent.

About Vallejo True Metallic Metal (TMM):

True Metallic Metal (TMM) uses genuine metallic pigments to achieve natural shine and realistic reflective behaviour. Unlike NMM, TMM preserves a true metallic appearance while supporting traditional shading and highlighting techniques for depth and volume.

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

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

This system enables painters to create convincing metallic depth, vibrant reflections, and expressive volume while maintaining the brilliance of true metal pigment.

Usage tips:

• Shake thoroughly before use.
• Apply over BASE metallic golds, aged golds, and green-tinted metals.
• Use fine brushes for edge highlights and detailed reflective accents.
• Thin with water or Vallejo acrylic thinner for smooth transitions.
• For airbrush application: 0.3 mm needle, approx. 2 bar (29 psi).
