Williamsburg Earth Pigments
Brown Ochre
#1561P Brown Ochre
PBr7
Very earthy, extra-deep, yellow ochre - so deep we call it brown.
 
Brown Ochre
#1484P Brown Pink
PR101
Similar to Sail de Grain in history and chemistry but with a beautiful, transparent, cordovan color. Its beauty is best seen when used transparently. Absolutely permanent.
 
Brown Ochre
#1631P Brown Umber
PBr7
The warmest raw umber we have ever seen - Not as red or as finely ground as the Burnt Umber.
 
Burnt Sienna
#1521P Burnt Sienna
PBr7
Rich, warm, mahogany undertone. Luminous and cherry-reddish in washes and glazing. Relatively strong.

#1661P Burnt Umber
PBr7
Very warm and velvety.
 
Dutch Brown (Transparent)
#1494P Dutch Brown (Transparent)
PBr6
Very close to Cassell Earth - but absolutely permanent.  In mixing if you find umbers to be too "smoky or atmospheric", you will find this to be very crisp and rich.
 
#1792P  German Earth
One of the most versatile blacks we've encountered. When used straight, it is very much like a traditional Cassell Earth or Van Dyke Brown, but when white is added ti cools down and becomes bluish - almost moonstone-like. Dries with a soft matte surface.
 
Italian Pink

Similar to Dutch Pink, but in the Italian Tradition.  Like the highlights in reddish hair painted by Titian.  A semi-transparent orange earth.  Absolutely permanent.

PR101
Brilliant and mellow like freshly shined copper. The French call this Flesh Ochre.
