Applications & inspiration:

Space Yellow works beautifully for lighting, fire, or magical energy effects. Over white primer, it shines with bright luminosity; over orange or brown bases, it takes on a warmer, more natural tone. Use it alongside Warm Yellow (AK17010) for highlights, or Warm Orange (AK17009) for fiery transitions and glowing accents. It’s also excellent for golden reflections and metallic highlights in fantasy armor or sci-fi panels.

This shade appears in the Fire & Energy Set (AK17518), designed for painters who love bold, radiant color dynamics. Comparable tones include Yriel Yellow (Citadel) or Gold Yellow (Vallejo Model Color), though Space Yellow offers a slightly richer, more organic warmth.

Sustainability:

Like all Quickgen paints, Space Yellow is eco-friendly, water-based, and safe. Its low-odor, solvent-free formula allows for comfortable and extended painting sessions, making it ideal for hobbyists and professional painters alike.

Who is it for?

Suitable for all skill levels, Space Yellow delivers vibrant, luminous effects with ease. Beginners will love the simplicity of the one-layer contrast effect, while advanced artists can explore its rich tone for blending and light simulation. It’s an essential color for anyone looking to add sunlight and life to their miniatures.
