Usage and History

The US Earth Brown color is inspired by authentic shades used by the United States Army during World War II and the Cold War era. This color appeared in camouflage schemes for armored vehicles, tanks, and military equipment used on the fronts of Europe and the Pacific. Modelers often choose this shade for painting vehicles such as the M4 Sherman, M10 Wolverine, or M26 Pershing.
