Paint Maker’s Notes: Darker than ocher and sienna pigments, umbers are natural brown earth pigments containing iron oxide. Raw Umber pigments range in colour, which is dependent on the amount of iron oxide and manganese in the clay from which it is mined. Historically, the best raw umber pigments are associated with a green undertone.
