Pale Yellow is a soft, diluted-looking yellow – not whitened, but naturally light. On a figure it is the workhorse highlight tone on yellow areas and, at the same time, the colour of old ivory and bleached canvas.

Pale Yellow or white for highlights?
On yellow, always Pale Yellow. White drains yellow towards grey – a pale yellow brightens it while keeping the colour.
Is it good for bleached canvas?
Yes – one of the most natural colours for old canvas and tarpaulins, especially with a grey glaze in the folds.
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.
