Dark Violet from the Ionic Smart Colors range – a near-black dark violet for the deepest shadows. Matt 20 ml acrylic.

Dark Violet is a near-black violet – so dark it barely separates from black on the palette, yet on a figure it still carries colour. It is the best black substitute in the whole range: the shadow stays readable, the area does not read as a hole and the figure gains depth.

What it is good for on miniatures

  • The deepest shadows – a black substitute under violets, blues and reds.
  • Black cloth – a base coat that can be highlighted towards blue or violet.
  • Deep recesses – places no light reaches at all.
  • Shadows on dark skin – a very thin glaze instead of black.

What to combine it with

Build shadows with Black, transitions and highlights with Octopus Purple and Malicious Violet.

Frequently asked questions

Why not just use black?
Black is dead on a figure – it reflects no light and the surface loses its shape. Dark Violet is just as dark but keeps a colour tone, so the shadow reads as space rather than as a hole.

How do I paint black cloth?
Base with Dark Violet, shade with black only in the deepest points and build highlights through Misty Grey to Smoke Grey. Black cloth is really a grey with dark folds.

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.

The full range is in the Ionic Smart Colors category.
