There are also quite a few new colours that close some of the gaps of the old range, 44 colours in total. Also keep in mind that because of the new formula and finish, old colours that have been carried over to the new range will look slightly different, more about that later. Some old colours have been renamed but kept their original product number, Bronze Fleshtone became Bronze Brown, Cadmium Skin became Skin Tone, Heavy Warm Grey became Warm Grey, Cold Grey became Neutral Grey, and Heavy Charcoal became just Charcoal. If you rely on any of these paints, then stock up now while the old range is still available. © Acrylicos Vallejo, used without permission Discontinued Game Color paintsĬompared to the old Game Color range, a total of 38 colours have been discontinued, namely: There is also no guide printed on the labels, though Vallejo’s colour chart should point you in the right direction of which colours are meant to go together.
Yes, some colours are arranged in triads, but some in quartets, and in between, you always find the odd colour or two.
According to Vallejo’s website, the range has been designed according to a Base – Shadow – Layer system of triads, but honestly, I don’t see anything of that. There are 136 colours in total, which break down into 80 regular acrylics, 9 metallics, 12 inks, 8 washes, 8 fluorescent colours, 12 Special FX paints, 7 additives and varnishes, and we also have the 24 new Xpress Colors to compliment the range, bringing the number up to 160 paints. The new Vallejo Game Color rangeĪnyways, let’s take a look at the new range. I don’t know if that’s true, but if nowadays a manufacturer were to so brazenly copy another manufacturer’s paint range colour by colour, there would probably be quite a shitstorm. But when nothing came of it, Vallejo is said to have simply released the colour range on their own as Game Color. Urban legend has it that Games Workshop commissioned Vallejo to take over the production of their paint range back in the day. © Angel Giraldez, used without permissionįor those that don’t know, the original Game Color range was modeled after the former Citadel paint range that was discontinued in 2012. Vallejo and Angel completely reworked the formula, and apparently, the new Game Colors have a more matt finish, improved opacity and pigmentation, and a longer working and drying time. They got a fancy new logo, and Angel Giraldez seems to have become Vallejo’s new brand ambassador, who also had great influence on the development of their new paint ranges, especially the new Game Color range. In October 2022, Acrylicos Vallejo relaunched their brand for the release of their new Xpress Color and Game Color ranges.
