Crimson Magenta Shade (77147) is a non-metallic satin wash in a 18ml bottle, formulated to deepen shadows and enhance contrast within the Crimson Magenta color family of Vallejo’s True Metallic Metal range. This wash allows you to shade magenta metallics without dulling their shine.

The full Crimson Magenta color family includes:

• 77107 Crimson Magenta (Light) – Bright metallic highlight
• 77127 Crimson Magenta (Base) – Magenta metallic base tone
• 77147 Crimson Magenta (Shade) – This satin wash for shadows
• 77167 Crimson Magenta (Airbrush) – Airbrush-ready version of the Base

Crimson Magenta Shade is ideal for bringing depth and volume to your miniatures. Use it in recesses, creases, panel lines, or sculpted textures on models previously painted with Crimson Magenta Base. Because this wash contains no metallic pigment, it adds contrast while preserving the reflective quality of the base layer.

This wash is suitable for:

• Fantasy armor, blades, and magical gear
• Sci-fi surfaces and high-tech paneling
• Dioramas or large-scale magenta metallic elements

Features:

• Non-metallic satin wash specially tinted for magenta metallics
• Part of the structured True Metallic Metal BSL workflow
• Water-based acrylic, low odor and easy to apply

Application tips:

• Shake well before use
• Apply selectively to crevices and recessed areas
• Thin with water or medium for more subtle shadowing effects

Crimson Magenta Shade completes the shading step in your metallic magenta painting process. Combine it with the Base and Light tones to achieve strong depth, glowing highlights, and a more natural, three-dimensional finish that pops on the tabletop or display shelf.
