Pastel Pink is a light, muted pink – a pastel rather than a saturated colour. On a figure it suits delicate clothing, highlights on flesh tones, and anywhere a strong pink would read as garish.

Frequently asked questions
Does Pastel Pink cover well?
Yes, better than saturated pinks – pastels carry more white pigment. Two thin coats are usually enough.
Can it be used on skin?
As a highlight, yes – particularly on cheeks and ears. Not as a base, though: flesh tones have a more complex undertone than a pure pink.
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.
