If you take a look at the Vallejo range of acrylics you should find something suitable. Excellent paint in my opinion and very reasonably priced compared to the War gaming ranges. I've attached a link below for their paint chart -

I thank you guys for the paint suggestions. I have used Docraft paints, the blue I had was mixed with some waterbased

white I once bought from Aldi to create a light sky blue & it worked out quite well on my St Oval back scene sky. I then sponge painted some of their white to create clouds in the sky. So yes, a good cover pigment cheap enough to experiment with bespoke mixes. That Vallejo range has several orangy, brownish, reds, that should have something to offer me, the on-line colours may not be what the painted surface will look like but a good starting point.

So again thank you for he advice.
