Burnt Sienna CBS

Burnt Sienna is a traditional earth pigment produced by calcining natural sienna, transforming its golden-yellow tones into a rich reddish-brown with exceptional warmth and depth. Originating from deposits near Siena in Tuscany, Italy, sienna pigments have been used since the Renaissance and became an essential component of artists' palettes and architectural paints throughout Europe. Their natural mineral composition and outstanding permanence have ensured their enduring popularity for centuries.

Highly valued for its excellent lightfastness and compatibility with breathable paint systems, Burnt Sienna has been widely employed in limewash, distemper, casein paints and other traditional wall paints. Its warm, earthy character makes it particularly suitable for creating terracotta shades, soft pinks and natural stone colours, while blending readily with ochres, umbers and black pigments to produce authentic and harmonious period colour palettes.
