Cyprus Burnt Umber 40720

Cyprus Burnt Umber is a premium natural earth pigment produced by calcining high-quality umber from Cyprus, a source renowned for yielding some of the finest umbers available. Rich in iron and manganese oxides, the firing process transforms the raw earth into a deep, warm brown with distinctive reddish undertones. Favoured by artists and decorators for centuries, Cyprus Burnt Umber has long been prized for its exceptional depth, permanence and versatility.

Highly valued for its excellent lightfastness and compatibility with traditional paint systems, Cyprus Burnt Umber has been widely employed in limewash, distemper, casein paints and other breathable wall paints. Its rich, earthy character makes it particularly suitable for historic interiors and exteriors, where it can be used to create warm stone colours, terracotta shades and authentic period palettes. It blends harmoniously with ochres and other mineral pigments to produce colours of remarkable subtlety and depth.

Rose of Jericho supplies high-quality Cyprus Burnt Umber pigment for use in traditional decorative finishes and conservation projects.
