The Citadel Colour Technical Contrast Medium is an essential tool for miniature painters and wargaming hobbyists who want to extend the versatility of their Contrast paint range. By allowing you to thin down highly pigmented paints to create smooth glazes, custom washes, and subtle tints without breaking the paint's unique chemical properties, it helps achieve professional-looking depth and shading on plastic figures. While it is highly effective for blending, users should be aware that it is specifically formulated for the Contrast line and may not behave identically when mixed with standard acrylic paints.

While you can technically use water, it often breaks the unique chemical binder of Contrast paints, leading to poor flow and uneven drying. Contrast Medium is specifically formulated to keep the paint behaving as intended.
It is designed specifically for Games Workshop Contrast paints. Results may vary significantly if used with other brands of acrylics.
Wait until the previous layer is completely dry to the touch to avoid reactivating the underlayer, which can create streaks.
The medium generally keeps the finish of the Contrast paint consistent, though applying many thin layers can slightly alter the sheen.
Yes, while primarily designed for plastic, it works perfectly fine on metal and resin surfaces as long as they have been properly primed.
Adjust your ratio by adding more of the original Contrast paint to the mixture until you achieve your desired opacity.
Use a wet palette to help maintain the moisture levels of your custom paint mixtures during longer painting sessions.
Ensure you are removing excess paint from your brush on a paper towel before touching the model, and use controlled, thin layers.
To use the Contrast Medium, simply dispense a small amount onto your wet or dry palette using a dedicated brush or a pipette. Because the product comes in a traditional Citadel pot, it is recommended to transfer small amounts to your palette rather than mixing directly in the pot to maintain the integrity of the supply.
