Pigment Information
This color contains the following pigments:
PY43-Brown Ochre
PR101-Mars Orange
Pigment Name
PY43-Brown Ochre
Chemical Name
iron(III)-oxide, partly hydrated
Chemical Formula
Fe2O3(• H2O)
Properties
Brown Ochre provides artists with earthtones from cream to brown and is a dull, dark variety of Yellow Ochre. Its transparency varies widely from opaque shades to more transparent ones, which are valued for their use as glazes. It has good hiding power, produces a quick drying paint, and can be safely mixed with other pigments. The highest quality Brown Ochre comes from Cyprus, where it is yellow in its raw form and is roasted to get the deeper brown-red varieties that result when water is removed. (See Yellow Ochre, PY42/43.)
Permanence
Brown Ochre has excellent permanence.
Toxicity
Brown Ochre is non-toxic.
History
Ochre comes from the Greek word ochros, meaning pale yellow. It has been used since prehistoric times, and evidence of its use has been found in some of the earliest known cave paintings in Lascaux, France. It has also been called Goethite, after the German philosopher and mineralogist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832).
