Hello, I was wondering which Vallejo model air color will be better for painting Abrams OIF sand, the sand Ivory 71.075 or the Sand yellow 71.028.

I found mixed results on the web. Anyone tried them?

That was a pretty definitive answer. Too bad no one else has actual piant chips to compare against model paint.
