Vallejo Model Color Green Brown (70879) is a warm olive-brown acrylic paint with a muted tone, perfect for painting military uniforms, equipment and vehicles in scale miniatures. Its dusty, natural hue makes it a go-to choice for realism in 1:35 or 1:72 scale projects.

This color matches RAL 8000 and Humbrol 26, making it well-suited for German Afrika Korps troops, field gear, jackets and camouflage applications. The balance of green and earth brown delivers an authentic, sun-faded look for historical models.

Packaged in an 18ml transparent bottle with an eyedropper cap, the paint allows for precise dosing and prevents waste. If the nozzle clogs, it can be easily cleared with a needle or cocktail stick.

Green Brown dries matte and provides excellent opacity. It has a smooth, even flow that eliminates brush marks, making it ideal for layering techniques such as drybrushing, shading, and highlighting. Its fine pigment structure ensures strong, consistent results with minimal effort.

You can thin it with water or Vallejo’s matte medium to adjust transparency and create glazes or filters. This makes it particularly useful for weathering, terrain features, or dusty effects on armor and gear.

Vallejo Model Color Green Brown works wonderfully as a basecoat, midtone, or shadow layer on miniatures. Pair it with colors like Middlestone, Japanese Uniform WWII or Dark Sand for rich, realistic camo compositions. On vehicles, it serves as an effective filter or faded highlight for dusty panels and tools.

Mistakes are easily corrected with water or alcohol while the paint is still wet, making it forgiving and accessible for both beginners and advanced modelers.

A core color in any military modeler’s palette, Green Brown helps bring figures, equipment and scenery to life with authentic warmth and depth. From field jackets to desert tanks, it’s a versatile shade that adds subtle realism to any historical miniature.
