Vallejo Game Color Ink Red (18ml, ref. 72.086) is a transparent acrylic ink rich in deep red pigments. The new 2024 Game Color formulation delivers smoother flow, higher pigment concentration, and a subtle satin finish, ideal for creating warm shadows and vivid glaze effects.

Use Ink Red to intensify, unify, or warm up red tones and flesh colors. Its transparent nature allows you to apply thin, controlled layers that enrich the base tone without covering details. This makes it a favorite among miniature painters for realistic skin shading, blood effects, and fiery glow accents.
