Burnt Umber - Burnt Umber is a rich dark brown earth pigment which is popular with artists due to its semi-transparent or semi-opaque qualities. This brown is lightfast, low-staining and can readily be lifted to vary its value in otherwise dark passages. Warm Burnt Umber with a little Alizarin Crimson or cool it with blue as your subject dictates.

This is a granulating color, meaning a grainy visual texture is created when the pigment particles settle and clump together rather than settling evenly on the painted surface.
