Despite the name, Peach is not a soft pastel – it is a bright amber orange with strong pigment. On a figure it reads as firelight or a setting sun. If you are after a pale peachy flesh tone, reach for Light Golden Flesh instead.

Is the name misleading?
A little – in the original palette it refers to the colour of a ripe peach in the sun, not to a pastel tone. Do not buy it as a flesh colour.
Does it cover a dark surface?
In two coats, yes, which is good for an orange. Over black it is still worth basing with a yellow 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.
