Vallejo Xpress Color Caribbean Turquoise 
Paint tropical waters, glowing magic, sea creatures, and vibrant fantasy details with fast, high-impact turquoise contrast.
Vallejo Xpress Color Caribbean Turquoise is a transparent matt acrylic color designed to flow naturally over miniature surfaces, creating light raised areas, saturated mid-tones, and deeper shadows in the recesses with a single expressive layer. It is ideal for fast tabletop painting, bright fantasy schemes, and aquatic or magical effects.
 
What it does
Creates a vivid turquoise tone with instant contrast and depth.
Works especially well over white or grey primer, where the color naturally separates into highlights, mid-tones, and shadows.
Excellent for sea creatures, magical energy, glowing weapons, gemstones, tropical water effects, robes, armor panels, and fantasy monsters.
Can be used for glazes, filters, soft shading, contouring, and blending transitions.
Can be mixed with other Xpress Colors or diluted with Xpress Medium to create softer turquoise tones and custom shades.
 
How to use
Prime or basecoat the miniature in white or light grey.
Shake the bottle well before use.
Apply with a brush and let the paint flow into recesses naturally.
Avoid overworking the surface while drying to keep the contrast smooth and clean.
For softer or more controlled results, dilute with Vallejo Xpress Medium.
It can also be used with an airbrush for tinting, filters, and smooth color effects.
 
Best for
Turquoise robes, cloaks, banners, and fantasy cloth
Sea monsters, merfolk, lizardmen, dragons, and aquatic creatures
Magical energy, spell effects, crystals, gems, and enchanted weapons
Sci-fi armor panels, glowing screens, and alien details
Fast tabletop painting for Warhammer, D&D, Pathfinder, skirmish games, and board game miniatures
 
ChalkyDot Tip
Use Caribbean Turquoise over a zenithal prime for instant depth on sea creatures, magic effects, and bright fantasy armor. For glowing arcane energy, highlight the sharpest edges with pale turquoise or off-white; for deeper ocean tones, add a second thin layer into the lower shadows and recesses.
