Description
What a wonderfully evocative name. This is unique to Wallace Seymour, single pigment and ground in their outstanding linseed oil.
In masstone this is very much the hue of a raw sienna however with more luminosity, as it is spread out it displays good transparency with a gritty feel under the knife. The swatch opposite shows it greener and cooler than it is in reality.
It has decent tinting power and there is a range of sandy, yellow-grey hues, if I had to paint a room in one colour it would be this mixed with some white!
I really like this paint, it is from the Wallace Seymour bespoke range and it feels bespoke, it has so much character which is lacking in the more industrial pigments - this also means the supply of the pigment is very much finite.
