There are plenty of online color games to choose from. You can color in with a game like Creative Coloring for Kids, or enjoy vivid, entrancing effects in the game Kaleidoscope.

Colors can illustrate shapes and patterns, which offers superb visuals for puzzle games like Blue and Lines. These games combine colors with music to create a beautiful and immersive experience. Online Color Games The range has been designed according to the BSL (Base, Shadow and Light) figure paint system, based on chromatically compatible groupings of three colors, which offers the less experienced painter for an easy choice of colors to paint miniatures with the appropriate highlights and shadows for each base color. Antistress and relaxation: Enjoy the calming effects of art therapy as you unwind with our engaging and satisfying color by number game.The silver paints are okay, but rather thin, their consistency is more like airbrush paint and much thinner than the old Game Color metallics. You can work with them, but they are not as good as Steel from the Vallejo Model Air series and Steel and Dark Steel from the Mecha Color series. Those are also airbrush paints, but their opacity is higher and they apply more nicely with a brush. Moreover, those three colours correspond very closely to the classic three silver paints from Games Workshop: Mithril Silver, Chainmail, and Boltgun Metal (or Stormhost Silver, Iron Hands Steel, and Leadbelcher for those that aren’t a grizzly Grey Hunter like me), whereas the new Game Color Gun Metal is significantly darker than Leadbelcher, and even darker than Iron Warriors. Scaling patterns (default) are better for maps with small subdivisions, like the detailed maps or the US counties map.

It’s recommended to apply Xpress Color on a white or grey primed or painted surface. The color will create light areas on the reliefs, saturated mid-tones and intense shadows in the crevices of the figure. Let’s take a look at the washes. These didn’t change very much at all and should be consistent with their old versions, but for some reason, Vallejo removed the green and grey wash, and added a yellow wash instead. While the colours themselves stayed consistent, I did notice that they flow better than the old washes, I heard they switched to a medium based on the new Xpress Color formula. Apparently, from Vallejo’s own equivalencies chart, it’s the same colour as Vallejo Model Color 70926 Red Leather. Source: https://fantasy-in.de/media/pdf/b3/4a/b7/vallejo-game-color-CC072_Rev17.pdf The new Game Color formulation greatly improves the colors application. The paint spreads very smoothly, is more fluid, opaque and contains a high pigment saturation, chosen for their brightness, maximum stability and resistance to light.To a degree, the same is true for the bronze paints, which are also rather thin, here I would prefer Runelord Brass and Brass Scorpion. Hammered Copper and Tinny Tin are decent, however, and cover well. The main characteristics are its excellent capillarity that allows the color to flow easily over the miniature surface, settling on all the reliefs and more intensely in the crevices of the figure, creating a contrast effect with a single layer of paint. Like all our products, they are very versatile and can be applied over any color in the range to create soft shading and contouring effects, to create glazes or filters and to blend transitions between color tones.

This compact range has been especially developed to contain all the frequently used colours in fantasy figures, in a formula particularly designed for adherence on plastics and metals, using a new resin of unequalled durability and resistance to scrapes and abrasion. Colours brush on easily and smoothly, and dry to an opaque, matte finish. Their finely ground texture makes them perfect for the most miniature details as well as for large surfaces. They are highly pigmented, light fast and waterproof once dry. Errors can be corrected immediately with water or a small amount of alcohol.In general, I have moved on to Contrast-like paints. In fact, Game Color Inks and the new Xpress Colors are very similar in terms of consistency and pigmentation. The only difference is in their behaviour. As you can see, the Game Color Inks create harsher transitions as the pigments tend to collect in the recesses more, whereas Xpress Colors create a more even tint with softer transitions. The Special FX paints are Vallejo’s answer to Citadel’s Technical paints, and here I faced mixed results. The new Game Colors should already be available from our partner shops Wayland Games, Element Games, Firestorm Games, and Taschengelddieb, which all have them at an additional discount.
