Roman Ochre 40310

Roman Ochre is a traditional natural earth pigment prized for its warm golden-yellow tones and its long association with classical architecture and decorative painting. Derived from iron oxide-rich earths, ochre pigments were extensively used by the Romans in frescoes, plasters and painted finishes, and have remained an essential component of traditional paints for centuries. Their natural mineral composition and exceptional permanence have ensured their enduring popularity in both historic and contemporary decoration.

Renowned for its excellent lightfastness and compatibility with breathable paint systems, Roman Ochre has been widely employed in limewash, distemper, casein paints and other traditional wall paints. Its rich, earthy character is particularly suited to historic interiors and exteriors, where it can be used to create warm creams, honeyed yellows and natural stone colours. It blends harmoniously with siennas, umbers and other earth pigments to produce authentic and enduring period colour palettes.

Rose of Jericho supplies high-quality Roman Ochre pigment for use in traditional decorative finishes and conservation projects. Its outstanding durability, natural mineral character and timeless warmth make it an indispensable pigment for the restoration and decoration of historic buildings and the creation of elegant colour schemes inspired by the finest traditions of classical architecture.
