Help needed to find a shade of brown paint

Recommended Posts

As per title.

I could do with some help to find a shade of brown paint.

For reasons I'll not go into I'd like a pot 'off-the-shelf' and not have to mix anything.

Gloss, matt, or semi-matt/gloss, doesn't matter as it will get varnished over

Acrylic or enamel

 

The shade I require is a reddish or orangey tawny brown

More reddish or orangey than Humbrol 9 Gloss Tan, but about that degree of luminescence or a bit lighter, but not darker

 

I can get locally;

Humbrol, enamel & acrylic

Vallejo, Model Colour only

Revell, acrylic only

Tamiya, most, but not all in the acrylic range

 

Any suggestions are welcome

Thanks

Fred

To recommend an exact shade and it be the exact shade you're looking for and it's premixed in a pot on the shelf, well there's just too many variables. What are you painting with it? If it's a specific colour for a specific model then something may exist already in one of the ranges you mention...
