Description
Steel Blue is a subdued, medium-dark blue-gray tone that replicates the cold sheen of heat-treated or oxidized steel. This color bridges the gap between metal and machinery tones—perfect for naval themes, military hardware, or science fiction technology. It’s a versatile choice for modelers seeking a cooler, industrial alternative to warmer metallics or grays.
Steel Blue is included in:
Item #29384 Railroad Model Color Paint Set
Item #29433 Basic Acrylic Painting Set with Brushes, Mediums & Empty Bottles, 89-Piece
Color Profile
Steel Blue features a cool slate base with subtle blue undertones. Unlike shiny metallic paints, this shade mimics oxidized or painted steel surfaces that have seen exposure and wear. Its finish is matte with a slight sheen, making it ideal for aircraft fuselages, engine blocks, and steel decking.
Modeling Use Cases
• Naval and Aircraft Models: Aircraft undersides, interior bulkheads, and flight decks
• Sci-Fi Builds: Mechs, spaceships, drone plating, and power armor
• Railroad and Industrial Dioramas: Structural beams, cranes, bridges, and equipment
• Military Vehicles: Artillery barrels, recoilless rifles, tools, and cases
• Cold War and WWII Naval Paint Schemes: Especially in transition areas between grays and blues
Tips for Use
- Highlight edges with Sabre Steel or Gunmetal for a steel wear effect
- Use Engine Black or Tarnished Black as shadow washes for added depth
- Drybrush with Reefer Gray for aged and oxidized effects
- Great base for chipping techniques on sci-fi or military kits
