What does OCHRE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A natural earthy pigment, ranging from pale yellow to brownish orange, made from clay coloured by iron oxide; also, the yellowish-orange colour itself.
Ochre has coloured human art since prehistoric times, ground from iron-rich clay and used in cave paintings, body decoration, and later in oil and watercolour paints. The pigment ranges from a soft yellow to a deep, reddish brown depending on how much iron oxide the clay contains. As a colour name on its own, ochre describes that same warm, earthy yellow-orange, distinct from brighter oranges or golds.
