The Army Painter: Acrylic - Pure Red

Pure Red is the classic, no‑nonsense, high‑impact red — bold, bright, and instantly readable on the tabletop. It’s cleaner and more straightforward than Dragon Red, brighter than Legendary Red, and sits perfectly in that “iconic fantasy red” zone. This is the red people imagine when they think red armor, red cloaks, red heraldry — pure, unapologetic color.

Why Painters Reach for It

• Smooth Fanatic coverage ideal for armor plates, cloaks, banners, weapons, and high‑visibility details

• Bright, clean primary red tone perfect for heroes, elite troops, sci‑fi units, mechs, and classic fantasy schemes

• Excellent mid‑to‑highlight red between deeper crimsons and vibrant accent reds like Raging Rouge

• Matte finish that keeps the color crisp, readable, and striking from any angle

Painter’s Vibe

Pure Red brings that “bold, iconic, unmistakable” energy — perfect for heroic champions, striking uniforms, classic fantasy palettes, and any miniature that thrives in bright, confident, primary red tones.
