Camel Brown (AK17059) is a warm yellow-brown midtone from the QUICK GEN range, offering a natural and earthy appearance ideal for organic materials. The tone shown in the colour sample blends a soft ochre highlight with a deeper brown shadow, making Camel Brown a reliable choice for wood, dried leather, bone textures and natural terrain elements. Painters appreciate this colour for its warmth and its ability to bring life and character to a miniature without overpowering the palette.
As a medium coverage paint, Camel Brown delivers a controlled, semi-transparent layer that enhances sculpt detail while allowing underlying tones to interact subtly with the pigment. The matte finish provides clarity in texture, making it easy to highlight grain, cracks, decay or aged surfaces. This balanced behaviour makes Camel Brown suitable for a wide range of painting styles, from speedpainting to more refined layering.

The colour also performs well as a foundation for earth and sand textures on scenic bases.
