umbers. Despite their dark appearance,
they are close in crystal structure to yellow iron oxides. In their “raw” form, this
yellow crystal structure gives raw
umbers their pleasant greenish undertone. Often referred to as a neutral toner
when used in combination with other pigments, raw umbers can be used to darken a color mix without significantly altering the chromaticity of the other pigments in the mix. Raw umber has limited heat stability, but this allows us to
heat-treat the umber and convert it to a
heat-stable red structure. The resulting
“burnt” umber has a pleasing warm red
undertone, along with improved heat stability. It is widely used as a basic brown in
many applications. It can also be used as
the cornerstone pigment in a base to produce a wide range of brown shades.
