What is a good single color to drybrush a completed Union 25mm soldier? Thanks.

If you are going with a single color, I'd use a light beige, such as Unbleached titanium.

What are you going for with the drybrushing?
Is it shading the dark blue or are trying to show grimy marching dirt ?

All my figures, regardless of era or scale, get a very light drybrush of pale tan all over. Vallejo Iraqi Sand is as good as any other. Picks out the highlights.

My goal is to bring out the highlights on the dark blue jackets and kepis as well as the black leather items.

I've always used Dove Grey well watered down.
