What happens when a white pigment made of ground bones and a light raw umber are burned in the embers? The naturally white bones are converted to velvety black bone char. The yellow ochre responsible for the warm tinge to the umber turns into red ochre in the heat of the fire, and the raw umber is converted to the pigment “burnt umber.” In this shade, the two are combined to yield a black paint color of extraordinary beauty.
