Vallejo Game Color Grunge Brown 
Add dirty leather, worn cloth, muddy shadows, and gritty fantasy detail to your miniatures.
Vallejo Game Color Grunge Brown is a matt acrylic paint designed for fantasy and wargame figures, perfect for earthy shadows, rugged equipment, aged materials, and weathered battlefield tones.
 
What it does
Creates a dark, grimy brown tone ideal for weathered leather, boots, belts, pouches, wood, dirt, and worn fabric.
Works well as a shadow color for warmer browns and natural materials.
Helps add a rugged, used, campaign-worn look to fantasy and sci-fi miniatures.
Applies smoothly with a brush and dries to a matt finish.
Part of Vallejo’s newer Game Color formulation, designed for improved fluidity, opacity, pigment saturation, self-leveling, and resistance to handling.
 
How to use
Shake well before use.
Apply in thin layers with a brush for clean, controlled coverage.
Use as a basecoat for dark leather, muddy cloth, wooden handles, or worn equipment.
Mix with lighter browns or bone tones for layered highlights.
For airbrush use, dilute properly with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner.
 
Best for
Leather armor, belts, straps, boots, and pouches
Dirty cloaks, robes, tunics, and travel-worn fabric
Wooden weapons, shields, crates, barrels, and terrain details
Mud, grime, dungeon bases, ruins, and battlefield scenery
Orcs, goblins, rangers, undead, barbarians, and grimdark miniatures
 
ChalkyDot Tip
Use Grunge Brown as your “dirty realism” brown: basecoat leather or wood with it, then highlight with a warmer brown for worn edges. For muddy boots, bases, and lower cloaks, thin it into a glaze and build grime gradually where dust and dirt would naturally collect.
