Raw Sienna type colours abound in the natural world and often this colour is used with only small modification but it has many roles to play. Mixed with Cadmium Yellow Medium it makes the golden colors of wheat fields or mixed with Matisse Emerald it makes beautiful olive greens and a color surprise is found by mixing it with Magenta light. The warm light tans that mixture makes is quite unlike any other because of the pinkish component to the color. Raw Sienna has been used for at least 30,000 years and yet it is as fresh and useful a color today as it was to an artist from all that time ago.
