Medium Olive from Vallejo Model Color is a versatile matte olive green shade with a soft, warm undertone, making it ideal for painting uniforms, gear, vehicles, and natural terrain elements in realistic dioramas and figure projects.
Based on Federal Standard 34151, this tone closely matches military specification colors, making it an excellent option for WWII armor, modern camo patterns, or subtle fantasy and sci-fi applications where a grounded, earthy green is preferred.
The formula includes permanent pigments, offering full opacity, excellent lightfastness, and long-term color stability. The paint dries to a matte finish and has a smooth consistency perfect for brush application, whether you’re layering, drybrushing, glazing, or blending wet-on-wet.
Medium Olive works harmoniously with other greens in the Model Color range. Pair it with 70967 Olive Green or 70970 Deep Green for shadows, or lighten it with 70951 White or 70837 Pale Green for highlights. For gear and terrain, try combining it with 70871 Leather Brown or 70940 Saddle Brown to create depth and material contrast.
In dioramas, Medium Olive is perfect for painting tents, canisters, canvas bags, mossy rocks, or military structures. Its warm but muted tone provides a natural middle ground between dark and grayed greens, making it easy to achieve color transitions and layered shading without harsh contrast.
The paint is packaged in an 18ml r-PET dropper bottle that allows for precise dosing and prevents drying out. This format makes it easier to mix paint on a wet palette and avoids waste. If the dropper becomes clogged, simply clear it with a needle or fine stick.
Vallejo Model Color Medium Olive is an essential staple for modelers looking to build realistic, earthy palettes. Whether you're painting historical vehicles, modern soldiers, or weathered fantasy landscapes, this green delivers a balanced, authentic result.
