Does anybody know how to get a good cotton-candyish pink color? Either by mixing Citadel paints or if there is a good one out there that anyone can think of. Thanks

Closest I can tell would be Squid Pink from the new Vallejo Game Air line.

Fulgrim pink no good?

Ral Partha Europe produce a number of pinks in their own paint range (including... pink) but that's probably too inconvenient to you.

I haven't tried them (yet) but Reaper sell a good range of colours. Do they have a suitable pink? Bright skin shadow or braains pink, maybe.

Vallejo model color have pink and salmon rose, but they probably look a bit different IRL compared to the color chart.

There are some decent craft paints too, like Folkart and Anita's. Used to be able to get them in a couple of shops over here, and I was pleasantly surprised by their quality and colour ranges (including a couple of pinks in the Anita's range). Some colours might need 2-3 coats for an opaque layer, but 'twas ever thus.

While that is a Candy type paint, the OP wasnt asking for that, was actually asking for cotton candy pink.

For the OP's information, 'candy' is a type of paint that is a transparent dye suspended in lacquer. They have the boiled sweet, see through colour kind of effect. True candy colours are not the cheapest of paints, and will remain transparent no matter how many layers being built up. Most 'transparent' paints will become opaque before you get many coats put on. It lets you get really deep, vivid colours that take on their true personality under bright sunlight with underpainting effects showing through strongly. Quite popular for airbrush art and custom cars/motorcycles.
