Burnt Umber is a staple of classical and limited palettes. It is not only useful for its brown mass tone, but also as a mixing compliment to darken all colours in place of black. Our variation of Burnt Umber is slightly warm, with a faint yellow undertone. All natural earth colours will vary slightly from batch to batch as they are unadulterated.

Burnt Umber is part of Tri-Art High Viscosity Professional Acrylic Paint, a heavy body acrylic with a thick, buttery consistency that holds brushstrokes and palette-knife texture. Built with high pigment loading and a fine grind, it stays bold and clean for impasto, scumbling, and confident brushwork.

Pigment profile: Single pigment colour (PBR7). Bias: Warm. Pigment family: Mineral. Opaque handling, strong coverage for solid passages, tints, and clean colour blocking. Medium tinting strength, mixes predictably across a wide range of palettes. Full staining, tends to leave a stronger stain in thin films and glazes. Lightfastness rating: 4. Sheen: Matte.

Technical Information
Lightfastness
4 (Excellent) Tri-Art numeric scale: 4 = Excellent, 3 = Very Good. A rating of 4 = 'I' on an ASTM lightfastness scale, and a rating of 3 = 'II' on an ASTM lightfastness scale.
Opacity
O Opacity codes: T = Transparent, SO = Semi-opaque, O = Opaque.
Pigments
Single Single pigment colours tend to mix cleaner and are easier to predict. Mixed pigment colours combine multiple pigments to achieve a specific hue or behaviour.
Pigment family
Mineral Pigment family describes pigment type. Mineral pigments are often earth or inorganic. Organic pigments are typically synthetic organics, often higher chroma. Mixed indicates a blend.
Tinting strength
Med Tinting strength is how strongly the colour influences mixtures when mixed with white or a lighter colour. Higher tinting strength means a little goes a long way.
Staining
Full Staining describes how readily a pigment binds into the surface. Higher staining is harder to lift or remove and can be more permanent in thin applications.
Colour bias
warm Colour bias is the undertone (warm, cool, neutral). Bias affects mixing, especially when creating clean neutrals and secondary colours.
Pigment codes
PBr7 Pigment codes are Colour Index identifiers (for example PB29, PR101). They indicate the actual pigments used, which helps compare colours across brands and predict mixing behaviour.
Sheen
M Sheen is the surface reflectivity after drying. Codes: M = Matte, SG = Semi-gloss, G = Gloss.
About Acrylic Paint

This explains what acrylic paint is, and why our acrylic films are dependable over time.

What acrylic paint actually is

Acrylic paint is pigment dispersed in an acrylic polymer emulsion. As water evaporates, the acrylic particles coalesce into a continuous, flexible film that locks pigment in place and adheres to the surface.

Our binder and manufacturing approach

Tri-Art paints are 100% acrylic polymer emulsion products. We manufacture using a custom high-solids acrylic resin, and this binder standard applies across our range, including professional and student quality.

Tensile strength
A strong, resilient film that holds together well as it dries and cures.
Adhesion
Excellent grip to properly prepared surfaces, supporting durable layers.
Clarity
High clarity helps colours read cleanly, especially in thinner passages and glazing.
Non-yellowing
A stable acrylic film that stays clear over time.

Using water confidently

Because our acrylic films are built on a high-solids acrylic resin system, artists can be more comfortable using water as a working medium without feeling like they are automatically compromising film integrity. For very thin applications, build in controlled layers and let each layer dry before continuing.

Practical tip: if you are creating extremely thin washes for extended areas, consider alternating thin layers with normal-strength layers to maintain a robust film build.
