Dark Brown is a dark neutral brown with no red shift – a universal shading tone that sits under leather, wood and brown cloth. It tends to be the most used brown in a palette precisely because it does not pull in any direction.

Frequently asked questions
Which brown should I buy first?
This one. Dark Brown is neutral, so it shades almost any brown, red or flesh tone – one bottle covers the most ground.
How do I thin it?
With water or an AK thinner. A few drops are enough for brush work; airbrushing needs more – AK thinners and cleaners are made for that. With acrylics, two thin coats always beat one thick one.
Is the finish really matt?
Yes, the 3rd Generation range dries matt. To protect the figure or even out the sheen, seal it with a matt varnish at the end.
The full range is in the AK 3rd Generation category.
