I want to paint leather on my Spiritseers and Farseers. I do not know what would be a good color from Games Workshop to use. Can anyone here recommend a good brown color for painting leather ?

It's more the technique than the the colours with leather. but something like Rhinox Hide, XV88 and Karak Stone would work.

I use XV88, mournfang brown as base, agrax earthshade for shading, and skrag brown for highlighting.

This is a quick method for painting leather. Not best out there but nice tabletop standard.

it's really more about what brown you want to use - what colour leather. Mine is almost always a darker colour so I use Rhinox as my base. Second the poking @feltmonkey as well, good info to be had

As Duncan mentions, there's hundreds of ways to paint leather.
