AK Interactive introduces Light Yellow Quickgen Paint (AK17014) – a gentle, luminous yellow tone that brings warmth and balance to your miniatures. Designed to create natural highlights and subtle light transitions, this color adds a touch of realism and elegance to any model.

The Quickgen range is built for the Contrast painting technique, allowing painters to achieve shadow, mid-tone, and highlight in a single coat. With its medium coverage, Light Yellow flows smoothly, producing soft transitions and delicate gradients that enhance texture and light.

Applications & inspiration:

Light Yellow works beautifully for highlighting warm tones, fabrics, armor edges, or glowing energy. Over white primer it appears soft and sunlit; over orange or beige bases it deepens into a warm, natural hue. Combine with Solar Yellow (AK17012) for high-intensity light or Warm Yellow (AK17010) for smoother warmth transitions.

This color is featured in the Light & Warm Effects Set (AK17521), curated to achieve realistic highlights and natural warmth. Comparable to Pale Sand (Vallejo Model Color) or Ushabti Bone (Citadel), Light Yellow provides a softer, more neutral tone ideal for blending and refinement.

Sustainability:

Like all Quickgen paints, Light Yellow is eco-friendly, solvent-free, and water-based. Safe, low-odor, and fast-drying, it ensures comfort during extended painting sessions.

Who is it for?

Suitable for painters of all levels, Light Yellow offers exceptional control and subtle results. Beginners can easily achieve bright highlights, while advanced artists can use it for glazing and realistic light transitions.

Add sunlight and softness to your miniatures with Light Yellow Quickgen Paint – a versatile tone that brightens, balances, and enhances every model with elegance and precision.
