Raw Umber (Greenish) CRUG

Raw Umber Greenish is a traditional earth pigment derived from naturally occurring iron and manganese-rich clays, distinguished by its cool olive-brown tone and subtle green undertones. Used since antiquity and favoured by artists and decorators for centuries, umber pigments have played a significant role in the development of traditional paint colours and historic decorative schemes. Their natural mineral composition and exceptional permanence have ensured their enduring popularity.

Highly valued for its excellent lightfastness and compatibility with breathable paint systems, Raw Umber Greenish has been widely employed in limewash, distemper, casein paints and other traditional wall paints. Its restrained character makes it particularly well suited to creating stone colours, soft greens and muted neutral tones, while its subtle green cast harmonises beautifully with ochres and other earth pigments to produce authentic period palettes.
