Raw Sienna Y-47

Raw Sienna is a traditional natural earth pigment renowned for its warm golden-yellow tones and exceptional permanence. Named after the historic city of Siena in Tuscany, Italy, where high-quality deposits were once extensively quarried, Raw Sienna has been used since the Renaissance and became an indispensable component of artists' palettes and architectural paints throughout Europe. Its natural mineral composition and subtle warmth have ensured its enduring popularity for centuries.

Highly valued for its excellent lightfastness and compatibility with breathable paint systems, Raw Sienna has been widely employed in limewash, distemper, casein paints and other traditional wall paints. Its rich golden character makes it particularly suitable for creating honeyed creams, warm stone colours and muted yellows, while blending harmoniously with ochres, umbers and other earth pigments to produce authentic and enduring period colour palettes.

Its outstanding durability, natural mineral character and timeless warmth make it an essential pigment for the restoration and decoration of historic buildings and the creation of elegant, harmonious colour schemes inspired by the finest traditions of decorative painting.
