Description
French Light Sienna is a natural, hydrated iron oxide pigment that is a satiny greenish sienna. It is unique in comparison to other earth colors because it occupies a space between the earthy greens and the warmer earth colors with a greenish tint. It appears to be somewhere between Bohemian Green Earth and Brown Ochre. Its burnt olive color is straight out of the garment racks of a second hand army navy surplus store and its tint is the color of cool sand untouched by the light of the sun.
