When raw umbers are heated, they lose bound water. Light, greenish-gray raw umbers are thereby converted to deep, reddish-brown burnt umbers. Their rich colors give them by-names such as chestnut and velvety brown. They are fundamentally different from other brown colors. Their unique depth, much valued by artists for depicting shadows, makes them “shadow colors” in an architectural sense: they make space appear deeper and direct attention to lighter elements. The dark surfaces look shaded and the appear to recede.

"Their colors are just unbelievably beautiful, whether the sun is shining, or it's rainy weather, or night, with every play of light they look different again. Incredible."
