Duncan Rhodes Two Thin Coats – Spectral Purple (Highlight)

Spectral Purple earns its name a pale, slightly washed-out lilac that reads less like paint and more like light. It’s the Highlight shade in Duncan Rhodes’ cool purple trio, made to sit right at the top of the transition where the last bit of edge or rim needs to catch the eye without shouting.

Best for

• Rim-lighting ghosts, spirits and spectral effects
• The top note on cool purple cloth and psychic weapons
• Fine edge highlights that need to glow, not gleam

Because it’s formulated to sit against its own Midtone and Shadow, you’re not mixing to find the right lift just thin it slightly and feather it onto the raised edges for a clean, ghostly pop.

Highlights need a base to lift. Pick up the matching Midtone and Shadow from the same purple trio in the full Two Thin Coats range, or see our beginner painting tips for more on layering shade to highlight.
