Description
Hull Red is a rich, dark red-brown color formulated to replicate the anti-fouling coatings used on the underwater sections of ships. Designed to prevent marine growth on hulls, this distinctive tone was applied across naval, merchant, and submarine fleets. It’s a foundational color for ship modelers and works well for weathering, rust effects, and waterline realism.

Color Description
Hull Red is a flat, oxblood red with brown undertones, resembling the traditional anti-fouling paints used below the waterline. Often matched to colors like US Navy Standard 17 or FS 20045, it has just enough depth to hold up under drybrushing, salt chipping, or rust streaks. It serves both as a functional hull tone and as a base for advanced marine weathering effects.
This color has been widely used for over a century:
• Seen on the underwater hulls of WWII battleships, destroyers, cruisers, and U-boats
• Still used on modern warships, tankers, and commercial cargo vessels
• A modeling essential for drydock scenes, cross-sections, and hull restoration effects
Modeling Uses
• Paint lower hulls of surface ships and submarines with historic accuracy
• Add depth to drydock or waterline models with salt and barnacle weathering
• Use for rust basecoats, freight cars, or heavily worn industrial equipment
• Use for full hull detailing and contrast
