Coelia Greenshade is a deep, cold blue-green shade wash from the Citadel range. Applied over a dried basecoat, it flows into recesses and surface detail, leaving a rich, dark teal shadow that sits cooler and more blue-shifted than Biel-Tan Green. The cold character of the shade adds depth and mystery to teal, dark green, and blue-adjacent colour schemes rather than the warm richness that a brown or orange shade would produce.
The cold blue-green tone of Coelia Greenshade suits Idoneth Deepkin models and their aquatic, oceanic aesthetic — applied over seafoam and teal basecoats across Namarti Thralls and Akhelian riders, it creates depth in scales and waterlogged detail without warming the cold colour scheme. Seraphon scales in cold-toned turquoise schemes benefit from the shade over Kroxigor Scales or similar teal Contrast paints. Space Marine armour in teal-green Chapters, Sylvaneth forest spirit details in cold weather tones, and any model requiring a cool, deep green shadow that reads as mysterious rather than earthy are natural fits. The shade can also be applied over silver metallics to produce a cold, patinated metal effect on armour in water-exposed or sea-weathered schemes.
