Pigments Offered: Iron oxide pigments
(umber natural iron oxides)
• Raw and Burnt Umber Natural Iron
Oxides: Umbers are one of the most versatile natural iron oxides. Hoover Color
offers 22 standard grades of 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.
