About product

United Parcel Service UPS Brown, the brown of a delivery fleet

A shade named after the vehicle fleet of the American delivery company United Parcel Service. Brown is so fundamental with this firm that it became its main visual mark: dark, warm, close to chocolate, with no red or ocher shift.

Why brown in particular

The company reached for brown in the first years of its operation and has not changed it since, which is a loyalty to one color unique among carriers. The reasons were practical and representative at the same time: a brown paint was at the time associated with luxury railroad cars, and at the same time road dirt was not so visible on it, which was decisive with vehicles in all-day city service. The shade has survived several generations of vans and trucks and it appears on the firm's shipping containers and aircraft too.

Where the shade will be put to use on a model

  • Bodies of the delivery vans and trucks of a parcel service
  • Trailers, containers and shipping crates in a uniform company paint
  • Vehicles for city dioramas and model railroads
  • Circuit specials of the American series in the colors of a delivery sponsor

Whom the shade will serve

It will serve builders of trucks and of model railroads, where a uniform company color holds a scene together. It is irreplaceable where a vehicle is meant to be recognized even without a legible logo: with this brand it is exactly the paint that carries the identity, so the shade is the main bearer of the likeness to the subject.
