The Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0: Periwinkle Purple

One Coat, Real Depth

Periwinkle Purple is a soft, cool blue-violet that lands somewhere between a twilight sky and a bruised arcane glow — and with Speedpaint 2.0, you get base colour, shading, and depth all in a single pass. The Speedpaint 2.0 formula flows over primed plastic, resin, and metal, pooling naturally into recesses while leaving raised surfaces lighter. The result reads like a layered paint job with a fraction of the effort. It is the kind of colour that works beautifully on robes, armour panels, magical effects, and any surface where you want a cooler, more ethereal tone without reaching for multiple pots.

Who Picks This Up

Speedpaint 2.0 is the go-to choice for painters who want game-ready results fast — whether that means getting a full squad finished for next weekend's game or batch-painting an entire warband in an evening. Periwinkle Purple in particular appeals to painters working on arcane, undead, or fantasy armies where cool purples and blues set the tone. It is genuinely beginner-friendly: prime your model, apply the paint, let it dry, and you have a tabletop-quality result. Experienced painters use it as an underpainting layer, adding highlights or edge work on top once dry. The pot size offers solid coverage across multiple models. Works across any miniature wargaming system — no allegiance required.
