Citadel Contrast: Ultramarines Blue – miniature paint (18ml)

Contrast is a revolutionary paint from Citadel Colour that makes beautiful painting simple and fast. Each Contrast paint, when applied over a light Contrast undercoat, gives you a vivid base and realistic shading all in a single application.

Ultramarines Blue is a vibrant, bold blue that gives your miniatures a striking, eye-catching appearance. Whether you're painting a fantasy army, a Space Marine chapter, or any other miniatures, this shade of blue adds depth and personality to your models. The paint lets you base coat, shade, and highlight in a single layer — without spending hours on multiple coats. Contrast paints work best over a light Contrast undercoat — this combination allows the paint to flow and settle into the recesses of the miniature, creating natural shading and highlights. An undercoat of either Wraithbone Spray or Grey Seer Spray is required — Wraithbone gives a warmer final tone, Grey Seer a cooler one. The result is a professional-looking finish that gives the illusion of multiple layers and hours of meticulous painting. The paint has a smooth, consistent texture, making it easy to apply with a brush or even with an airbrush for those who prefer that method.
