- Chemical formula
- Fe2O3,MnO2 or Fe2O3+MnO2+nH2O+Si+Al2O3

To achieve a similar color in watercolor form, mix it with Ultramarine or Payne's Gray.

- Burnt Umber has good permanence.
- Toxicity
- Burnt Umber itself is considered non-toxic. If contaminated by manganese compounds, it may be highly toxic if inhaled and moderately toxic if ingested.
- History
- This pigment gets its name from the Latin word umbra, meaning shadow or shade. Its full name is listed as terra di ombra, meaning earth of shadow/shade, due to its original extraction from the area of Umbria, Italy. It has been used as a pigment since prehistoric times. Currently, the finest umber comes from Cyprus.
