abngi Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 For you color-theory types out there, I am trying to mix Vallejo Model Air colors to duplicate Vallejo Model Color 887 - Brown Violet. Can anybody figure the mix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spatula Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I'll guess it's for US-vehicles? FoW?...Air-brushing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper User Vaitalla Posted March 9, 2006 Reaper User Share Posted March 9, 2006 Wow, good luck on that one. Brown Violet is a thoroughly weird color. I could probably mix it from pigments, but I have no idea if the Air Model colors have traditional colors (i.e. if I tell you to mix a Raw Umber and a Yellow Ochre, do they have those colors?). But at any rate, I'd guess it's a majority of Raw Umber with white, a bit of Yellow Ochre to warm it up, and one would guess a touch of Violet. --Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Porsenna Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 If you're painting US WWII vehicles, and are airbrushing, why not just pick up a bottle of Olive Drab from one of any of the model paint manufacturers? No less authority than Steve Zaloga declared (IIRC) Tamiya Olive Drab as being the closest to WWII OD... Damon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
