Vallejo Model Color Pale Sand is a versatile sand-brown acrylic paint, specifically designed for miniature and model painting. This paint is part of Vallejo's renowned Model Color range, offering excellent coverage, a matte finish, and smooth, streak-free application. Thanks to its pigment-rich formula, Pale Sand is fully lightfast and opaque, except for transparent and fluorescent colors.
The color Pale Sand (70837) is comparable to: Federal Standard 33798, RAL 1015, and Vallejo Game Color 72098. It’s an ideal choice for painting light sand or desert bases, beige fabric details, or weathered surfaces such as wood or aged stone. Its subtle, warm tone also works beautifully for highlighting skin tones or adding highlights to other brown shades.
The paint can be easily thinned with water or mediums like matte medium, allowing for fine layers, shadows, and glazes. Professional painters often apply it in thin layers with a wet brush to create depth and realism. Mistakes can be easily corrected with water or a bit of alcohol, provided this is done immediately.
Pale Sand comes in a sustainable 18ml r-PET bottle with a convenient eyedropper. This design allows for precise dosing and minimizes paint waste. If the nozzle becomes clogged, it can easily be cleared with a needle or toothpick.
Vallejo's Model Color range is developed in collaboration with leading miniature painters worldwide, offering an extensive selection of colors, mediums, and varnishes specifically designed for precision work and creative freedom. Pale Sand is an excellent choice for high-quality, versatile paint, whether you’re creating historical dioramas, fantasy settings, or custom miniature bases.
