Daniel Smith Raw Umber is a classic, deep earth brown with medium tinting strength and semi-transparent qualities. Exceptionally permanent and inorganic, it pairs beautifully with sedimentary Cobalts to produce granulating, middle-value grays that add atmosphere, enhance depth, and help shape form and space in a composition.

Swatch info: Starting with 10 parts water to 1 part paint (by weight) in the palette, the chemist painted the top half of the swatch uniformly with a round brush to show the paint’s color and characteristics. For the bottom half, a 0.75-inch flat brush was dipped into the paint well just once, then the color was applied in stripes until the brush was dry, which shows the color’s tone and behavior through a wash.
