Deep purplish brown. Developed to match the color of the ink from cuttlefish, the traditional source of sepia. The reddishness associated with the sepia washes of Renaissance drawings is actually faded from the natural color. Ours is a permanent mix of transparent iron oxides, quinacridone pigment, ultramarine blue, and white.
