It's sort of a forest green, looks like. Needs to be a bit lighter on miniatures. does anyone have any specific suggestions for Vallejo – or perhaps other – colors for the Russian uniform green? Thanks! |

Vallejo Model Color 96/894 is Russian Green. |

Vallejo Gunship Green is my choice for Russian Napoleonic uniforms. Not the true dark green but it is a darkish green that shows up nice on tabletop. |

My preference is Vallejo 100 Black Green. It is dark enough to do the job. I read somewhere that Russian uniforms of the time were dyed with a black that faded green with use. (Some translations of 'War and Peace' refer to the 'black' uniforms of the Russians.) Anyone tried black with green highlights? |

Interesting Artilleryman, I've never heard that. Some good ideas here, will look into them. |

The bulk of my 15mm Russian Napoleonics were painted many years ago with Plaka dark green, Looking at them against various Vallejo colours I now have, the dark green 72.028 ( Game Colour range) would probably be my choice for small scale figures . 70.823 Luftwaffe cam green might be OK as a base colour for 28mm figures? I find the gunship green suggested by Kelly Armstrong a little too blue, but colour choices are very subjective and after 200 years there are no eye witnesses to criticise your personal choice. |

I thought Vallejo had a Russian Uniform Green -- 94/924. |

@Schogun. I have a Vallejo Russian Uniform Green -70:924- but it's for WW2 .
All of my Vallejo colours have a 70 (most of them) 71 or 72 prefix. Not come across a 94 prefix,; do they use different codes in different markets (I am in UK) |
