burnt umber
Reddish-brown pigment
Burnt umber is a dark brown pigment with reddish undertones, made by heating raw umber—an earth pigment containing iron and manganese oxides.
The "burnt" refers to this calcination process, which deepens and warms the color.
Artists use it for shadows, skin tones, and underpainting: She mixed burnt umber with white for the shadows on his face.
