LC66 - FS10076 gloss raw Sienna

Lifecolor Gloss Raw Sienna FS10076

An earthy brown-orange shade with a gloss surface from the Lifecolor acrylic range. The manufacturer has the number FS10076 and the degree of sheen given right in the name, and the number comes from the American Federal Standard color standard.

The part a warm brown plays in a scheme

In multitone camouflage the green and gray tones easily merge into each other, because they are all cool. A warm brown-orange is therefore the element in a scheme that breaks the area up and gives it depth. On upper surfaces it tends to be part of the fields and blotches; on the dividing line it helps soften the transition to the light lower surface; and around the engine cowlings and exhausts it matches the way the surface of a real aircraft changed in service.

Where the shade suits outside camouflage

Sienna is a classic earth color, so beyond the upper surfaces of a wing it finds use on wooden parts, on the leather equipment of the crew, on ground materiel and on the earthy treatment of landing gear and lower surfaces. A gloss surface suits where the color is meant to be saturated and full; under a later unifying surface finish it will fall into line with the rest of the model.

Who the color is for

For modelers who put multitone schemes together from individual shades instead of ready-made sets, and for figure painters and diorama builders, who find an earthy brown useful practically all the time.

Mix the contents thoroughly before use, close the bottle carefully after work and work in a well-ventilated space. Keep out of the reach of children.
