Chroma Clay - Blue

Plasticine for Professional Animators

Chroma Clay Blue is a high-opacity, studio-grade plasticine designed for animators who require a powerful and dependable primary palette. Developed as a premium alternative to Newplast, this Blue clay delivers a rich hue that remains vibrant and stable under studio lighting. Whether used for lead characters, denim-textured costumes, or atmospheric night-time sets, this Blue provides the professional finish expected in cinematic stop motion.

Precision Sculpting and On-Set Stability

Handmade in the UK using animator-approved materials, our wax-based formula is engineered to handle the rigorous demands of frame-by-frame animation:

• Superior Detail Retention: Holds crisp edges and fine surface textures. Details like muscle definition and fabric folds for example between exposures.

• Responsive Thermal Handling: Softens quickly with the warmth of your hands for smooth blending and expressive character acting, yet firms up once positioned on the armature to prevent unwanted movement.

• Consistency: Formulated to stay clean on the hands and tools, whilst easily sticking to itself.

The Foundation of Custom Colour Blending

Because Chroma Clay Blue is fully meltable, it serves as a critical mixing engine for any studio. As a primary colour, it allows for the creation of an infinite spectrum of bespoke shades:

• Deep Purples: Blend with Chroma Clay Red or Cerise.

• Lush Greens: Mix with Chroma Clay Yellow.

• Midnight Tones: Combine with Chroma Clay Black for deep, dramatic shadows and night-sky gradients.
