Light Turquoise is a soft, airy color from the Vallejo Model Color range, offering a light balance between blue and green. Its pastel-like quality makes it ideal for miniature painters who want to create gentle highlights, shallow water surfaces, magical effects, or subtle accents on clothing, weapons, or vehicles.

Thanks to its matte finish and strong pigmentation, Light Turquoise covers well and flows smoothly with minimal effort. It dries evenly and applies beautifully without brush marks—especially when used with a slightly damp brush. This color is excellent for techniques like glazing, edge highlighting, or layered blending.

It combines wonderfully with other shades in the Model Color palette. Use 70808 Blue Green as a base and build up to Light Turquoise for highlighting. To push the brightness even further, mix it with 70951 White for icy effects or extreme light reflections.

For shading, 70965 Prussian Blue is a great choice, giving cool contrast without darkening the tone too much. In a complementary color scheme, 70910 Orange Red creates a bold contrast perfect for fantasy or sci-fi figures, while 70815 Basic Skin Tone delivers a soft, natural companion for more delicate or human-centered designs.

In diorama work, Light Turquoise excels for shallow water, mosaic tiles, or ornamental decor. It’s also ideal for magical elements like force fields, runes, glowing gems, or as an accent on high-tech or mystical devices. The gentle color stands out while maintaining elegance, pairing nicely with whites, greys, or metallic golds.

The paint comes in an 18ml r-PET bottle with a precision dropper, ensuring clean and economical use. These bottles help preserve the paint’s quality over time and allow for easy, consistent dispensing. If the nozzle gets clogged, it’s easy to clear with a fine needle or toothpick.

Light Turquoise is fully lightfast and made from permanent pigments, making it suitable for both gaming miniatures and display models. Mistakes are easy to correct while the paint is still wet using a bit of water or alcohol, making it beginner-friendly as well as professional-grade.
