Sand brown is a little lighter than Mud and Oil brown. A more subtle, delicate shade and very versatile. It can be used on all kinds of models and landscapes and is very effective.
On grass, tree and shrub foliage Sand Brown is a little less visible than Mud or Oil Brown and a little easier to use. It looks good on ballast as well as roads and platforms.
Sand Brown looks like sandy dirt when applied to wagons, carriages, locos and houses. It's a more gentle shade than Mud and Oil Brown and is less obtrusive. On lighter coloured models all that is often needed is a quick spray and no more. Works really well combined with Light Grey and Slate Grey.
