Vallejo Pigments are a selection of natural and synthetic pigments chosen for their durability, excellent lightfastness, and extremely fine milling of their particles, which facilitates mixing and application on models and dioramas. The range of pigments includes a series of colors selected to depict wear and corrosion caused by harsh usage and exposure on vehicles and buildings, representing dust accumulated on tank wheels, rust on armor, and the wide variety of effects caused by climate and geographical conditions. The pigments can be applied in dry form, directly with a brush on the model, as they have excellent adhesion. They can also be stabilized with Thinner when used to depict dry mud or accumulated dust. With Pigment Binder, the pigments can be used to create volumes, such as accumulated dirt and mud. Painting tools are cleaned with water.
