What does SIENNA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A warm brown or reddish-brown pigment made from iron-rich clay, or the yellowish-brown to reddish-brown colour of that pigment.
Sienna takes its name from the Italian city of Siena, where the clay-based earth pigment was traditionally quarried and processed. Heating the raw pigment drives off some of its yellow tone and shifts it toward the deeper reddish-brown known as burnt sienna, while the unheated form is called raw sienna. Painters value it because, unlike many bright synthetic pigments, it is stable, inexpensive and blends easily into skin tones and landscapes. Outside painting, the word is also used loosely to name any similar earthy brown colour in fashion or design.
How SIENNA is used
Used mainly in art and design to name a natural earth pigment and its shade, as in raw sienna and burnt sienna.
- The painter mixed white into the sienna to lighten the shadow.
