Vallejo Game Color: Sunrise Blue (72.118 / 72118) – 18ml
A bright, clean fantasy blue that’s perfect for magical armour, sky-blue cloth, glowing runes, energy effects, lenses, and vibrant highlights over darker blues.
 
What it does
Water-based acrylic made for fantasy & wargaming miniatures, with a matt finish and smooth application.
New Game Color formulation is designed to be fluid, opaque, highly pigmented, and suitable for layered miniature painting.
Offers self-levelling behaviour to help reduce visible brush marks on the painted surface.
Designed for good adherence on common miniature materials such as plastic, resin, and metal.
 
How to use
Apply over a primed surface; white or light grey primer makes Sunrise Blue look brighter.
Shake well, then apply 2 thin coats for smooth coverage.
Shade recesses with a darker blue or blue-purple wash.
Re-layer Sunrise Blue on raised areas, then highlight with a lighter blue or a tiny touch of ivory/off-white.
 
Best for
Blue armour panels, cloaks, robes, banners, and heraldry
Magical runes, crystals, plasma coils, lenses, and spell effects
Sky details, water-themed models, ice/frost palettes
Highlighting darker blues without jumping straight to white
 
ChalkyDot Tip: For a glowing blue effect, base the area with a darker blue, layer Sunrise Blue toward the centre, then add one tiny off-white highlight at the brightest point. That small final dot makes the glow feel much stronger.
