Game Color FLUO | Vallejo

Game Color FLUO | Vallejo for light effects and OSL

Vallejo Game Color Fluo offers high-intensity fluorescent colours for creating glow, magic energy, neons and OSL on miniatures and wargames. They work with brush and, thinned, also with airbrush.

How to get the most out of them

• Use Vallejo primer (a light base works best) to boost the glow.
• Apply thin layers and build up the intensity gradually.
• Finish with Vallejo varnish (matte/satin/gloss) to protect the effect.

Combine them with inks and washes

• Boost saturation and highlight edges with inks.
• Define recesses with washes for clean contrast without losing luminosity.
