This versatile tone is perfect for winter themes, magical effects, and sci-fi details. Ice Blue instantly adds clarity and cool brilliance to your miniatures, from enchanted crystals to frozen armor plates.

Applications & inspiration:

Ice Blue excels at creating frost, snow, or magical light effects. Over white primer it produces glowing highlights; over darker primers it becomes deep and glacial. Combine with Space Green (AK17017) for frosted tones or Lavender (AK17004) for spectral transitions. Also great for plasma weapons, ice spells, and ethereal armor.

This color appears in the Frost & Magic Set (AK17530), a curated selection of cool blues and purples for winter and arcane themes. Comparable to Hoeth Blue (Citadel) or Ice Blue (Vallejo), but with smoother blending and a matte finish ideal for modern contrast techniques.

Sustainability:

Like all Quickgen paints, Ice Blue is eco-friendly, solvent-free, and water-based. Odorless, quick-drying, and safe for all environments, it ensures a clean and comfortable painting experience.

Who is it for?

Perfect for painters of all levels. Beginners will appreciate its easy coverage and crisp tone, while experienced artists can exploit its transparency for light effects and shading. A key color for fantasy, sci-fi, or environmental miniatures.
