L&YR carriage paints - acrylic

[rhydddu]

Hi. Has anyone here matched L&Y carriage colours (plum and tan) with acrylic paints - any will do e.g. humbrol, tamiya, mr hobby, vallejo, revell etc. 
 

thanks

Hi Colin,

 

This was discussed elsewhere - but I didn't save a link.

 

Anyway - What did I find out?

 

L&Y Plum is Red Madder - available as acrylic in the Vallejo range.

 

L&Y Tan is a bit more of a problem, I've used GWR light stone over a grey primer.

 

Thanks

Hi there,

 

Rose Madder is to light - I will try to find the remains of the bottle I have used, but I am certain it was Red Madder.v

 

In the meantime....

 

Just checked with the artist wife and it looks like I didn't use Vallejo on the last batch.

This is the tube I have leftover.
