Black Brown from the Ionic Smart Colors range – a near-black dark brown for shading and base coats. Matt 20 ml acrylic.

Black Brown is a near-black brown – the deepest point of the brown ladder that still carries colour. It is the best black substitute in warm schemes: on leather, wood and rust it gives the shadow depth without turning it into a hole.

What it is good for on miniatures

  • The deepest brown shadows – the bottom of folds on leather and cloth.
  • Black leather – a base coat that can be highlighted towards brown.
  • A base under rust – the dark layer beneath the orange deposits.
  • Dark hair – brown-black strands that do not merge into a flat mass.

What to combine it with

Build shadows with Dark Violet and Black, transitions and highlights with Vermin Brown and Graveyard Earth.

Frequently asked questions

Why not use black for black boots?
Because black reflects no light and the boot loses its shape. Black Brown is just as dark, but highlighting it towards brown turns it into leather – black only ever becomes grey plastic.

How does it differ from Burnt Umber?
Black Brown is darker and redder, Burnt Umber lighter and more neutral. Black Brown is a shadow, Burnt Umber still a usable base.

How do I thin this paint?
With water or an Ionic thinner. The formula is self-hydrating, so it stays workable on the palette far longer than ordinary acrylics – a drop is enough for brush work, and roughly 1 : 1 for airbrush.

Is the finish really matt?
Yes, it dries matt with no shiny patches. If the figure is going on the gaming table, seal it with a matt varnish at the end.

The full range is in the Ionic Smart Colors category.
