Light Coral is a pale coral pink – warm, soft and very light. It is a pink that does not read as childish: it carries enough orange warmth to look like a natural cloth or flower colour. On skin it serves as the top highlight on lips and cheeks.

How does it differ from Gum Pink?
Light Coral is warmer and leans orange, Gum Pink is cooler and leans violet. Use Light Coral for flowers and skin, Gum Pink for bubblegum pink.
Does it cover well?
Over a light base, yes; over a dark one, no. Pinks and corals are weakly pigmented by nature – over dark areas base them with white or Ivory first.
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.
