About Vallejo 77127 Crimson Magenta:

Crimson Magenta is a vivid metallic shade designed for painters seeking dramatic, expressive metal finishes. Its ultra-fine pigment ensures smooth application, consistent shine, and excellent behaviour under SHADE shadows and LIGHT highlights.

It excels in fantasy and sci-fi settings, giving models an energetic, luxurious or otherworldly appearance while maintaining a high level of readability on the tabletop.

About Vallejo True Metallic Metal (TMM):

True Metallic Metal (TMM) uses real metallic pigments to provide natural shine and authentic light interaction. Unlike NMM, which simulates metal with flat colours, TMM preserves true metallic behaviour while supporting classical shading and highlighting techniques.

The TMM system is built around the BSL workflow:

• BASE: opaque metallic foundations — Crimson Magenta is the primary base for purple-magenta schemes.
• SHADE: satin washes enhancing depth and shadow.
• LIGHT: bright, reflective highlight tones.
• AIRBRUSH: airbrush-ready BASE equivalents.

Usage tips:

• Shake thoroughly before use.
• Suitable for black and white primers.
• Brush: use neat or slightly thinned.
• Airbrush: 0.3 mm needle at approx. 2 bar (29 psi).
• Ideal base for magenta- and purple-metallic TMM effects.
