A mostly extinct/obsolete pigment that is rarely mentioned. We have not encountered this pigment firsthand. Field described it as, "an orange-brown, and resembles burnt sienna ; but it is not so rich and powerful. It is transparent, permanent, and a good drier." It was made by calcining Prussian Blue.
