Vallejo Xpress Color Omega Blue 
Paint deep blue armor, cold shadows, magical energy, and powerful fantasy details with fast, rich blue contrast.
Vallejo Xpress Color Omega Blue is a transparent acrylic color designed to flow naturally over miniature surfaces, creating lighter raised areas, saturated mid-tones, and darker shadows in the recesses with a single expressive layer. It is ideal for fast tabletop painting, intense blue schemes, sci-fi armor, and magical effects.
 
What it does
Creates a strong omega blue 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 blue armor, cloaks, robes, banners, energy weapons, crystals, spell effects, sea creatures, and alien details.
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 blue 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 naturally into the recesses.
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
Blue armor, helmets, shoulder pads, shields, and sci-fi panels
Cloaks, robes, tabards, banners, and fantasy uniforms
Magical energy, spell effects, glowing runes, crystals, and gems
Sea creatures, dragons, elementals, aliens, spirits, and monsters
Fast tabletop painting for Warhammer, D&D, Pathfinder, skirmish games, and board game miniatures
 
ChalkyDot Tip
Use Omega Blue over a white or zenithal prime for a bold, saturated blue with strong natural shadows. For glowing arcane weapons or sci-fi energy panels, add a small pale blue or off-white highlight at the brightest point, then glaze Omega Blue around it to create a smooth luminous effect.
