AK Interactive introduces Spectral Blue Quickgen Paint (AK17028) – a mystical turquoise-blue tone designed to bring magical and luminous effects to life. Spectral Blue blends cool blue and green undertones, creating an ethereal color that seems to glow from within. Perfect for painting light effects, energy fields, or enchanted details.

The Quickgen range is crafted for the Contrast painting technique, allowing shadow, midtone, and highlight in a single layer. With low coverage, Spectral Blue is semi-transparent, making it ideal for glazing and lighting effects. It subtly reveals the underlying layers for a smooth, luminous finish.

A cool turquoise-blue with a ghostly, airy quality. Over white primer it shines bright and icy; over black, it becomes deep and spectral. The perfect choice for creating ethereal glow, magic, or energy-driven highlights – excellent for both fantasy and sci-fi themes.
