Vallejo Game Color: Scurvy Green
A deep, blue-leaning dark green that’s perfect for sinister fantasy palettes, sea-creature shadows, dark cloaks, scales, and grim armour panels. Smooth, matte, and made for tabletop miniatures.
 
What it does
Water-based acrylic made for fantasy & wargaming miniatures.
Dries matte and opaque, designed mainly for brush painting.
New Game Color formulation is described as smooth, fluid, opaque, with strong pigment saturation and good light stability.
Self-levelling behaviour helps reduce brush marks while preserving fine miniature details.
 
How to use
Apply over a primed surface for best adhesion.
Shake well, then paint 2 thin coats for smooth coverage.
Shade recesses with a dark green/blue wash, then re-layer Scurvy Green on raised areas.
Highlight with a brighter green, teal, or a small mix of Scurvy Green + off-white for crisp edges.
 
Best for
Dark green armour, cloaks, leather, straps, and monster skin
Sea-creature scales, swamp creatures, lizardmen, goblin shadows
Grim fantasy palettes where you want green depth without using black
 
ChalkyDot Tip: For a rich “deep sea green” look, base with Scurvy Green, shade with a dark blue-green wash, then highlight only the sharpest edges with a brighter teal. It keeps the colour dark, but makes the details read instantly.
