Lightning Blue from the Ionic Smart Colors range – a vivid electric blue for energy effects. Matt 20 ml acrylic.

Lightning Blue is a vivid electric blue at maximum saturation. It is the colour of lightning, energy and sci-fi light – on a figure it reads as a source rather than a surface. On cloth it is too assertive; on effects it is exactly what you want.

Frequently asked questions

How do I paint convincing lightning?
A thin white line in the centre, Lightning Blue around it and a very thin glaze of the same blue furthest out. Lightning has to be brightest at the core – if it is blue throughout it looks like wire.

Does it cover black?
Badly. Always base saturated glowing blues with white or light grey – the difference in brightness is dramatic.

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.
