Green is the widest colour family on miniatures – from uniforms through orc skin to toxic slime. Essential Greens covers that whole range with six shades that follow on from one another, so they work both as a ladder and as six separate colours.

Why not shade green with black?
Because green with black looks like mould. A darker green darkens while keeping the hue – and this set contains exactly those darker steps.
Is it suitable for military green?
Only partly. The shades lean fantasy – more saturated and brighter. For uniforms and vehicles use the olive tones from individual jars.
How do I thin these paints?
With water or an Ionic thinner. They are self-hydrating, so they stay workable on the palette far longer than ordinary acrylics – a drop for brush work, roughly 1 : 1 for airbrush.
Is the set better value than single jars?
If you need at least half the shades, yes – the set costs less than the same number of individual jars. If you are missing only two, buy them separately in the Ionic Smart Colors category.
The other sets are in the Ionic sets category.
