Not sure right off hand. Take a chip of a piece of pottery to the local craft store, and match it to some of their craft paints. If you don't have that handy, they probably sell fake, terra cotta pots in the store, of the appropriate color, so just use one of those to match. Should be easy enough to do. |

Yeah, except it's a sound stage or CGI set here on Terra. Do confusing!
I'd go with terra cotta with a bit more red. |

Howard Hues Chestnut #1465,(Don't even think about it!)seems to be spot on. |

Iron oxide based pigments from home depot the kind put in cement would get you close. The red at the lower left is pretty close to what they sell at home depot. Also they sell Mortor pigments there, same same. picture Could be mixed with plaster sprinkled down and hit with a spray bottle in layers to get that powder effect. Any pottery store will sell powered pigment by the lbs, though a single lbs would be a life time supply. I get my raw pigments from. artstuf.com |

Dulux do a great colour called Ancient earth. You can still get them to mix it I think the number is 3688. |

Looks a little more rosey than terra cotta. I see a blue-gray character in the earth red. I'd mix a little light blue into terra cotta as a starting point. |

link War Torn is spot on with the FeO…Natural warm tan, sunny yellow, and a rich earthy red clay color. The combination of these three colors will create a nice textured look of terra cotta. link look to your backyard TX has tonnes of it. |

28mmMan, LOL. Texas is a big state. I would have to travel some 600-700 to see those colors here in the state (from the Houston-Galveston area all the way to Abilene). There was one time that I had to drive from San Antonio to Abilene and I felt as if I had stepped into another planet, exactly like your photo. Thanks for the input. CC |

Try the Reaper Master Series 'Redstone' triad. |

28mm man, CC: Australia is much more full of that colour and I don't even get to see any even after hours of travel out of the city.
I have some pastels to do it with. I have a pack of earth tones pastels which provide dust for various deserts and coal dust, diesel smoke etc.
Oh and the pilot was shot on location not on soundstage; it was at Stockton, NSW, and was shot on the same day someone was shooting a WW1 landship attack over the dunes.
Then the production packed up and the series ended up being shot in the US… |

28mm & allkingmen are right on. Those guys in that movie clip are probably on a sandbar in the Red River. |

By the by, this product is great for working the Mars dust on stuff (miniatures, models, etc.) rustall.com |

I screen captured your movie, cropped the image to show just the sand and pulled it into photoshop, converted it to an indexed color with only 4 colors and saved it to a GIF and gave you the link below. If you had a color printer you could take it to the paint store and scan it. It was 2 shades of redish and black. I can get you the CMYK numbers or the RGB numbers if you want. picture |

Frankly, I was going to suggest GW terracotta, with a Baal red wash. (GW washes are great. The washes, the Foundation paints, and the color 'Snakebite Leather' are the only GW paints I still use.) |

War Torn, "CMYK numbers or the RGB numbers" Could you explain those a bit? I need all the help I can get. Thanks. CC |

If you project light at a wall, red, green and blue they overlap and make other colors. Weirdly if you project green over red you get yellow!!! Anyway computer screen colors work that way. RGB means Red Green Blue and the numbers indicate a value of none to maximum. Yellow is 255,255,0 Orange is 255,140,0. kb.iu.edu/data/aetf.html CMYK is a printing color mixing thing. It indicates how muck Cyan, Magenta Yellow and Key (black) you mix together and its pretty much the way we all mixed colors in Kinder garden. link Anyway not knowing how paint stores work I thought the CMYK might let you give them a number and have them mix it for you. The RGB would let you use your own paint program to paint the color to print out and take with you. Though the image I posted a link to is basically a screen shot of what was posted. |
has lost everything.
