Acrylic Color FOREST GREEN

The green of a deep deciduous forest

Forest Green is the classic dark green most people picture under the word forest. In the range it follows right after the cold deep-water green and is noticeably warmer than it, closer to a leaf than to water. That makes it the most usable green base of all: under the crowns of trees, on bushes, on moss, on the dark growth of a diorama and on the cloak of a ranger and the canvas of a field tent.

In vegetation this paint has one important role that is often forgotten. The greenery modelers buy ready-made tends to be monotonously light and a scene made of it looks artificial. It is enough to put this dark tone under it or to lay a very thin glaze over it, and foliage gains the depth that real growth has under sunlight at once.

• Package volume 17 ml in a bottle with a dropper
• Position in the range a warm dark green of the leaf kind
• It covers well, a surface evens out in two layers
• Inside a metal ball against the settling of pigment
• Thinned with water, for spraying with an acrylic thinner

Military use comes second in order. The shade will serve on the dark field of a multicolor camouflage, on the canvas parts of equipment, on crates and transport containers and on the green features of field vehicles. In combination with an ocher or sand color a whole transitional scale can be mixed from it, from the deep shadow of growth to dried summer grass.
