Blue Violet is a rich, cool violet leaning towards blue — a deep, moody colour for regal clothing, arcane detail and fantasy schemes. AK's high-pigment 3rd Generation acrylic lays it down matt and smooth by brush or airbrush.

Best for

• Deep, cool violet robes and clothing
• Arcane and magical detail on fantasy miniatures
• Shadow tone for lighter violets and purples

Build it over a mid ground in thin coats, and highlight up with pastel violet for depth. Thin it for airbrush work; its matt finish takes glazes and washes cleanly.
