Color Comparisons

Brown Madder / Transparent Red Oxide / Burnt Sienna

When looking at the masstone these colours look somewhat similar but when seen in tints with white and when used as a glaze these three colours are quite distinctly different and in fact Permanent Brown Madder turns out to be a red rather than a brown.  Transparent Red Oxide although described as a red is actually a transparent brown and Burnt Sienna, as it is these days, based on pigment deposits which are not as bright as the original colour which used to come from a deposit near the town of Sienna is somewhat more neutral and dull than the Transparent Red Oxide, which although it is a synthetically produced pigment, is colouristically similar to the original Sienna colour.
