52 Weeks of Color Challenge: SIENNA!


Outfit: MEB Penny; Furnishing: Melu Deco; Hair: W&Y 57

"Sienna is a form of limonite clay most famous in the production of oil paint pigments. Its yellow-brown colour comes from ferric oxides contained within. As a natural pigment, it (along with its chemical cousins ochre and umber) was one of the first pigments to be used by humans, and is found in many cave paintings (...) The name derives from the most notable Renaissance location for the earth, Siena, Italy, and is short for terra di Siena, "earth of Siena"
