What is umber-brown?

Umber-brown is a dark brown color with a slightly reddish hue, named after the natural mineral pigment umber, which is found in soil. It is often used in painting and art to give a warm and earthy tone to the work. The color is created by mixing raw umber and burnt umber pigments, both of which have been used since prehistoric times for cave paintings and as a natural dye. Umber-brown is also used in fashion and home décor as a neutral and timeless color that can be paired with many other colors.
