Ancient Copper (77124) is the base color in the copper-toned Vallejo True Metallic Metal range. Designed to lay the groundwork for highlights and shadows, it’s the heart of the Ancient Copper family and the starting point for layered metallic effects.
The True Metallic Metal (TMM) series by Vallejo includes structured color families with four coordinated tones: Light, Base, Shade, and Airbrush. This allows painters to control contrast and realism in metallic surfaces without muddying tones or losing shine.
Ancient Copper Base has strong coverage and smooth application, making it perfect for layering or glazing. The fine metallic pigments provide a clean, even surface whether applied with a brush or airbrush, and blend beautifully with its matching family tones.
