Vallejo Game Color: Gorgon Brown 
A rich, earthy dark brown with a gritty, natural feel—perfect for leather, wood, fur shadows, worn gear, and basing tones when you want depth without going pure black.
 
What it does
Water-based acrylic made for fantasy & wargaming miniatures.
New Game Color formulation is described as smoother flow, more opacity, and high pigment saturation, designed to be easy to apply and blend.
Dries to a matte, opaque finish and is noted for good adherence/durability on minis.
 
How to use
Prime your model for best adhesion and consistency.
Apply 2 thin coats for the cleanest, smoothest brown.
Shade recesses with a darker wash, then re-layer Gorgon Brown on raised areas for quick definition.
 
Best for
Leather straps, boots, pouches (base + midtone)
Wood (handles, crates, terrain beams)
Fur & cloth shadows (grimdark, natural palettes)
Basing: dirt, dried mud, roots, tree bark
 
ChalkyDot Tip: For realistic worn leather fast: base Gorgon Brown, shade the deepest creases, then edge-highlight by mixing a tiny touch of bone/off-white into Gorgon Brown. Keep highlights small so it reads “worn,” not “beige.”
