Cold Pink is a pale pink with a cool violet pull – a pink that does not read as sweet. On a figure it belongs anywhere pink should feel ethereal rather than childish: fae, magic effects, pastel dresses, otherworldly skin.

How does it differ from Gum Pink?
Cold Pink is more violet and cooler, Gum Pink warmer and more saturated. Use Cold Pink for ethereal things and Gum Pink for candy pink.
How do I paint magical light with it?
Thin it and lay several glazes around the source, touch the core with white and lighten the surrounding surfaces with the same pink. Without lighting the surroundings the effect fails.
How do I thin this paint?
With water or an Ionic thinner. The formula is self-hydrating, so it stays workable on the palette far longer than ordinary acrylics – a drop is enough for brush work, and roughly 1 : 1 for airbrush.
Is the finish really matt?
Yes, it dries matt with no shiny patches. If the figure is going on the gaming table, seal it with a matt varnish at the end.
