Red is the colour easiest to ruin on a figure – white turns it pink and black turns it brown. Essential Reds contains the whole ladder from a light orange-red to a near-brown cardinal, so a red cloak needs nothing beyond these six jars.

Frequently asked questions
Why is red so hard to highlight?
Because white turns it pink. It has to be lightened through orange – which is exactly what this set does, since its lightest shade is a light orange.
Is the set enough for a whole cloak?
Yes. Six steps is more than most figures need – for tabletop models three will do.
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.
