Vallejo Game Color: Moon Yellow
A bright, clean fantasy yellow made for miniatures—perfect for armour panels, cloth, banners, glowing details, and warm highlights where you want strong tabletop visibility.
 
What it does
Water-based acrylic for fantasy & wargaming miniatures.
New Game Color formulation is designed to be more fluid, more opaque, highly pigmented, and stable against light.
Dries with a matte finish and self-levelling behaviour to help reduce visible brush marks.
Built for better resistance to handling and rubbing, useful for tabletop gaming pieces.
 
How to use
Prime first. Yellow looks strongest over white, ivory, or light grey.
Shake well, then apply 2–3 thin coats instead of one thick coat.
Shade carefully with a warm brown/orange wash only in the recesses.
Re-layer Moon Yellow on raised areas to bring the brightness back.
 
Best for
Yellow armour, helmets, banners, shields, hazard markings
Flame/glow effects, magical details, lenses, icons
Bright highlights over ochres, oranges, and warm greens
 
Can be applied by brush or used with an airbrush when properly thinned.
ChalkyDot Tip: Yellow rewards patience: start from a light base, build Moon Yellow in thin layers, and keep your shade only in the deepest lines. That way the yellow stays bright instead of turning muddy.
