Vallejo Model Color Tan Earth (70874) is a warm reddish-brown acrylic paint with a natural tone, ideal for painting uniforms, equipment, dusty vehicles, or base textures for dioramas. This versatile shade adds depth and realism to both historical figures and wargaming terrain. The subtle red undertone gives it a worn, earthy feel that works beautifully across multiple settings.

The paint comes in a convenient 18ml dropper bottle, designed for clean and precise application. It's perfect for brush painting or wet palette use. If the nozzle ever clogs, a simple poke with a pin or toothpick will clear it right up.

Highly pigmented and easy to thin, Tan Earth lays down in smooth, even coats. It dries to a matte finish and works great in thin layers for building depth or in washes and glazes for subtle weathering. Whether you’re working on the folds of a canvas cloak, the dusty boots of a soldier, or the soil of a battlefield, this color delivers natural, believable results.

Tan Earth is a popular choice among pro painters for its flexibility. It pairs well with 70917 Beige for highlights and 70941 Burnt Umber for shadows. It also matches closely with Federal Standard 30219, Gunze H-310, and Humbrol 119, making it a reliable pick for historical accuracy.

This color is part of Vallejo’s Panzer Series, developed in collaboration with Panzer Aces Magazine, offering authentic WWII uniform tones and earth-based colors. It’s an excellent mid-tone for complex color builds or a solid base for all kinds of terrain effects.
