Umber - Prehistoric Raw Earth Pigment - 'Umbra' in Latin : 'Shadow'

"The cold darkness of Umber is steeped in history, first appearing in Prehistoric cave paintings as the brown hides of frantic, fleeing animals.
~ Originally mined from soil rich in manganese and iron oxide, the pigment can be found in locations all around the world and shares similar chemical properties with red and yellow ochre.
~ But it is the darker shadowy sister in the family and as such has greater associations with mystery and intrigue."

Untitled, 1950-52 ;
Artist : Rothko

" … American painter Mark Rothko saw in nature's darkest colours the ability to convey the internal, troubling emotions that plagued him … where trembling, vulnerable patches of Umber suggest the unknown, shadowy recesses of the human mind."

They are often used as therapy animals for children and people with disabilities because they are the perfect height for kids and people in wheelchairs to touch, groom, or feed.
