Description
Deck Tan is a flat, desaturated tan color designed to replicate the appearance of weathered wood decks and sun-exposed platforms. Used extensively in naval modeling, this tone is perfect for ship decks, piers, and worn wooden structures. Its neutral warmth also makes it useful for highlighting field gear, building materials, and aged wooden surfaces in dioramas and scale structures.

Color Description
Deck Tan is a soft, chalky beige with hints of gray and straw, designed to reflect the bleaching and wear that natural wood experiences in open air and sunlight. It works beautifully for both naval and civilian projects, especially when combined with washes or pigments to simulate traffic wear, salt exposure, or grime buildup.
This color is widely used in scale modeling applications:
• Common on WWII and modern U.S. Navy ship decks and wooden aircraft interiors
• Ideal for pier planking, docks, crates, barricades, and military flooring
• Also used in railroad modeling, architectural kits, and weathered buildings
Modeling Uses
• Paint ship decks with realistic sun-faded wood effect
• Use for crates, pallets, and wood details in dioramas or figure bases
• Layer with Wood Wash or dark brown pigments for worn plank effects
• Drybrush over darker tones to create textured weathering and grain definition
