Vallejo Game Color: Steel Grey 
A cool, versatile medium steel grey for armour panels, weapons, stone, sci-fi details, cloth shadows, and neutral highlights. Perfect when you want grey that feels clean, sharp, and tabletop-ready.
 
What it does
Water-based acrylic made for Fantasy & Wargame figures.
New Game Color formulation is designed to be smooth, fluid, opaque, and highly pigmented, with good light stability.
Dries with a matt finish and self-levelling behaviour to help reduce visible brush strokes.
Built with modern resins for better resistance to handling and rubbing, useful for tabletop gaming miniatures.
 
How to use
Apply over a primed surface for best adhesion and coverage.
Shake well, then paint 2 thin coats for a smooth grey base.
Shade with black, blue-grey, or brown wash depending on the material.
Highlight with a lighter grey or off-white for crisp edges and worn surfaces.
 
Best for
Armour plates, weapons, machinery, pipes, and sci-fi panels
Stone ruins, dungeon floors, rocks, rubble, and urban bases
Grey cloth, cloaks, leather, straps, and neutral fantasy details
Highlighting black, dark blue, dark brown, and muted colour schemes
 
ChalkyDot Tip: For fast battle-worn armour, base with Steel Grey, shade the recesses with a black or blue-grey wash, then edge-highlight with a lighter grey. Add tiny dark scratches first, then a smaller light line underneath to create instant chipped metal.
