Colours for Indian Army?

[Hammers]

I am sure this topic's been up before, but, hey, I've got one of those many-letters-sympthoms, so I can't get myself to look for it.

What colors, preferably refering to Vallejo, would you use to paint Great War or interwar Indian army?

I seem to recall some greenish kakhi but I can't find a reference.

Don't quote me on this, but I think that the Indian Army, like the Brits, had two shades (and weights) of khaki. A tropical or summer one that is a sandy yellow colour (for Egypt, East Africa, Mesopotamia and Palestine), and a winter one which is more of a brown or sometimes a greenish brown (Western Front).

So first you need to decide which of those you want to represent.

Then you need to ask someone else, as I have absolutely no knowledge of Vallejo paints!

I found a article describing it as kahki drill or khaki twill. This had, however, more to do with the weave. Apparently the twill, which was slightly more dense, was used on the western fron and was inadequate for those conditions (can anything be adequate for Western Front conditions). Anyhoo, the kolor is described as light kahki or sand and that's how Steve Dean make'm. The front of Osprey Elite Indian army seems to confirm this.

Tan, darken by burnt umbre for deep shadow and highlited with ivory and white oughta do it.  Turbans and puttees lighter because of frequent wear and wash.
