Description
French Light Sienna, PY43, natural hydrated iron oxide, is a satiny greenish sienna. In comparing French Light Sienna to the Williamsburg palette of earth colours it shows itself as very unique. It fits nicely in between the earthy greens and the warmer earth colours that have a greenish tint although it is a far departure from the colours most similar to it. It appears to occupy a space somewhere between Bohemian Green Earth and Brown Ochre. Its burnt olive colour is straight out of the garment racks of a second hand army navy surplus store and it's tint is the colour of cool sand untouched by the light of the sun.
