So I have Foundry's buff leather triad. But the diffences between the three colors is minutes. It just looks pale yellow.
I have cheated by using citadel xv-88 but that is to dark. And that still leaves the mater of highlights. |

I use xv-88, followed by Cel Vinyl Ochre and then Delta Ceramcoat Trail tan. |

My formula is a base coat of Foundry Scarlet Shade, followed by Spearshaft Light as the main colour with a highlight of Base Sand Shade. Works for me. |

mabye use a mix of the buff leather shade mixed with chestnut shade from foundry (vallejo flat brown would work
also) as a darker shade to start with. then work from there
so final highlight would be more of the straight buff leather with a hint of the the lightest shade mixed in?
that way you can avoid the pale yellow look |

A really easy way to do this is to use two Vallejo colours: Leather brown and Dark sand. Put them on your palette and mix away – endless variations around buff leather are possible. I sometimes do the same with Vallejo Burnt Umber and Beige. |
