What does OCHRY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
rare
Of a brownish-yellow colour resembling ochre.
Ochry describes surfaces or objects with the dull, earthy yellow-brown tone associated with the natural pigment ochre, which has been mined and ground for paint since prehistoric times. Painters and geologists both use ochry to describe soil, rock or pigment that carries this warm, muted hue rather than a bright or clean yellow. Because ochre itself varies from pale gold to deep rust, something ochry can sit anywhere along that range as long as it leans brownish-yellow. The word is a fairly rare adjective form, more often replaced in everyday speech by ochre used directly as an adjective.
