I just love them. Here is an example:
Some day I hope to be able to find a paint color that does it justice |

An undercoat of rich red that is allowed to show through will work nicely. |

The Metal Mountian blog has a post where an oil wipe is used to get a great result with this shade of red-brown. link |

I've used the Foundry Conker Brown Triad for this color horse. It's more red than the online palette shows. |

It's not just the color, it's the sheen of the coat. |

Use a satin finish over the paint. |

I use Craft Smart acrylic color called Brick Red #23618. It gives a good "bay" horse color. Jim |

IIRC, Ceramcoat makes a color called candy bar brown that is just about perfect. |

Agree with Thresher01.
Whatever you end up with; a coat of satin finish is a must. |

Do they look this beautiful when they are in the field without fresh currying? A red brown bay is gorgeous. |

I use acrylics for horses from Colour Party Paints – and enamels for everything else. After years of not quite being happy with my horses, CCP's range of 'horse sheens' works for me (i.e. chestnut, roan, dunn, light bay etc.). I agree with a satin varnish, of course. CCP is certainly worth a look. |
