The Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0: Pastel Seafoam

One Coat, Three Effects

Some colours just work on every project. Pastel Seafoam is that kind of colour — a soft, cool teal that lands beautifully on robes, armour trim, scaled skin, water effects, and arcane glows alike. Applied in a single pass, Speedpaint 2.0 flows into recesses to create natural shading, deposits colour across flat surfaces for a vibrant mid-tone, and leaves lighter edges where the paint thins out — all at once. It is contrast-style painting at its most efficient, and Pastel Seafoam's muted, desaturated quality makes it especially forgiving for blending and layering afterward.

What Speedpaint 2.0 Does

Speedpaint 2.0 is The Army Painter's second-generation take on the all-in-one speed painting formula. The updated formula addresses the reactivation issues some painters encountered with the original Speedpaint range — once dry, Speedpaint 2.0 is stable and ready for highlights, washes, or detail work in minutes with standard acrylic paints. It can also serve as a fast base coat across large areas before adding further detail, giving it a flexibility that goes beyond pure speed painting. Whether you are racing to get a warband game-ready or blocking in colours on a display piece before refining, this pot earns its place on the desk.

Who Will Use This

New painters will find Speedpaint 2.0 one of the most accessible tools in the hobby — prime your models, apply the paint, and watch it do the work. Experienced painters keep pots like Pastel Seafoam in rotation for batch work, undercoats, and colour sketching before committing to a final scheme. The colour itself suits a wide range of miniature projects: undead units with ethereal robes, sea-themed warbands, scholarly wizards, elven armour, or any model where a cool muted teal reads well on the tabletop. It works equally well across game systems and model ranges.
