The colour is a mix of brown, green, and yellow, similar to a turkey's feathers.
The pigment "Turkey Umber Greenish" is composed of PBr7 Raw Umber, known for its strong lightfastness, meaning it is highly resistant to fading when exposed to light over time. It also possesses excellent opacity, effectively covering underlying layers of paint or substrate. In terms of the undertone, this pigment exhibits a subtle greenish hue, adding depth and complexity to its overall appearance.
It's like a brackish Raw Umber. Very edgy.
