Warpaints Fanatic: Deep Grey Acrylic Paint – The Army Painter

Warpaints Fanatic: Deep Grey

The essential first step off black. Warpaints Fanatic Deep Grey is a very dark, neutral grey — dark enough to read as near-black in recesses, yet distinct enough to create a clean, natural highlight when layered over Matt Black. The second-darkest tone in the Black & Greys Flexible Colour Triad, Deep Grey is the workhorse colour for anyone painting dark armour, robes, stone, or any surface where a subtle, controlled highlight off black is the goal.

Whether you're building up highlights on black power armour, shading grey stone terrain, or creating the subtle tonal variation that separates a flat black basecoat from a fully realised dark colour scheme, Deep Grey is the colour that does the heavy lifting.
