Extra Dark Green is a very dark green just short of black. It is used where a shadow should be almost black without losing its colour – a difference that shows clearly on a figure.

Frequently asked questions
Why not just use black?
Black eats the colour and the shadow reads as a hole. Extra Dark Green keeps a green tone even at its deepest, so the area stays readable.
How do I thin it?
With water or an AK thinner. A few drops are enough for brush work; airbrushing needs more – AK thinners and cleaners are made for that. With acrylics, two thin coats always beat one thick one.
Is the finish really matt?
Yes, the 3rd Generation range dries matt. To protect the figure or even out the sheen, seal it with a matt varnish at the end.
The full range is in the AK 3rd Generation category.
