Subject: Xpress Color - Vallejo entering the Contrast/Speedpaints game? (new Game / Xpress Color website)
That was a positive review, matt finish, less thick viscosity than contrasts means a better control, dropper bottles and diluted in water.... Well not sure whats not to like so far.
More curious about game colour though.

I'm looking forward to these. I've got some old school 25mm 18th Century minaitures for an Imagi-Nations project that are pretty shallow in detail. These paints could be perfect for those.
Thanks for being so responsive Juan! It's great to have the ear of someone involved in the process. The vid of you painting the blood bowl ogre was great. An excellent showing of what they're capable of in the hands of a skilled painter.
Your work is only new to me, but i've been steadily working my way through your youtube channel and I've already picked up few a useful things. Looking forward to more of your work with the Xpress paints.

Honestly, a ballpark idea of a release date would be really useful, as I'll happily buy any set (the largest size set is probably what I would go for though) but I need to know if I need to put £60-100 aside at the moment, or if I can wait till after christmas.
Like many I presume hobby spending is going to be cut down massively in the medium term in the UK, so just want a little heads up so I can plan accordingly...

'Xpress Color' is a pre-existing brand name for a cosmetics line by Indola.
I didn't know this but searching the name brings me up those links to the pre-existing product line.
Not only is that unhelpful for both companies but as Xpress is not an actual word Vallejo are treading on another companies branding, this can get legal.
It is not too late to add an E.

Xpress is used everywhere in many products and brands. My own Google search on "xpress color" didn't even return any results regarding a cosmetics line on the first page. The first result was a print shop in Florida, followed by Vallejo's new paint line, and an Amazon listing for a Samsung color printer.
I think Vallejo is safe to use it.

Trademarks are rather specific for a certain category of products. There's no problem for two different companies both selling products under the Xpress brand, so long as they are different products (as in cosmetics on one hand and paint made for miniature painting on the other).

News from Angel Giraldez on the Game Color new formulation. At the 1:22 mark of the video, he mentions that an advantage of the new formulation is that it takes longer to dry to more easily blend colors.

That video really sold nicely the triad colour potential.
We can see also the consistency of the paint quite well and IMO a very good balance between coverage and dilution. That pigment is holding very well even diluted.
Lovely skin tones.
Vallejos game colour just got upgraded by the looks of it. Very promising product.
After a year of work and testing, I'm very proud to present you the FULL RANGE of Vallejo Xpress Color. This is a worldwide exclusive showcase of the amazing new Contrast alternative from Vallejo,watch the video to answer all your questions and see all the colours in action.
Thanks for a great review! I need at least 8 of those colors. Shame there is no bone color there as I need some for my skellies.
BTW how long do you need to shake the bottle to be sure they are properly mixed?
