What vallejo color works best for British Khaki in the Sudan in the Omdurman campaign? Thank you in advance.

Actually, the best color I've found for British and Indian khaki is Honeycomb by Folk Arts, which is available in most hobby/craft stores. Put a brown ink wash over it, then dry brush with a mix of Honeycomb and a little white. The results are the best out of all the options I've tried over the years.

True. I always prefer cheap craft paints. They come in better bottles, have much more paint in them, are cheaper, cover just as well and have a much larger variety of colors. They also last a lot longer.
