The Army Painter Umberroot (John Blanche) WP4116P

John Blanche Masterclass Series Paint

Umberroot is part of The Army Painter’s John Blanche Masterclass Series, a collection of colours inspired by the distinctive artwork and painting philosophy of John Blanche. Developed to complement the Warpaints Fanatic range, this deep earthy brown shade provides painters with a versatile colour for creating natural textures, weathered materials and atmospheric miniature paint schemes.

Designed to work within the Flexible Triad System, Umberroot offers a rich brown tone that is ideal for wood, leather, soil, fur, tree bark and aged equipment. The colour can be used as a basecoat, shadow tone or layering colour, making it a useful addition for painters looking to build depth and realism into their projects. Its natural appearance allows it to blend seamlessly with greens, tans, greys and other earth tones.

The John Blanche Masterclass Series encourages painters to focus on mood, texture and storytelling through colour. Umberroot supports this approach by providing a grounded and characterful shade that can be used across fantasy, historical, military and science fiction subjects. Whether representing worn leather straps, muddy terrain, wooden structures or organic textures, the colour helps create convincing and visually interesting finishes.
