Applications & inspiration:
Plague Yellow works beautifully on aged fabrics, desert bases, sandy textures, and worn equipment. Over white primer it produces a pale sand tone, while over brown or grey it deepens into a warm ochre. Use it alongside Dirty Yellow (AK17007) for dusty shading or Bone Flesh (AK17015) for smooth highlights. It’s a perfect mid-tone for natural weathering and historical finishes.
This color is part of the Desert & Weathering Set (AK17514), curated to offer earthy realism for landscapes, armor, and vehicles. Comparable tones include Desert Yellow (Vallejo) and Zamesi Desert (Citadel), but Plague Yellow provides a softer, more natural matte finish.
Sustainability:
Like all Quickgen paints, Plague Yellow is eco-friendly, solvent-free, and water-based. It’s safe, low-odor, and designed for comfort during extended painting sessions.
Who is it for?
Suitable for painters of all levels, Plague Yellow delivers consistent, warm results. Beginners can achieve realistic effects easily, while advanced artists can use its transparency for layering, glazing, or tonal balance in weathering work.
Bring the warmth of earth and sun into your models with Plague Yellow Quickgen Paint – a versatile, natural color that breathes authenticity into every miniature.
