Art Trivia: The Pigment Truth – Mummy Brown/Red (aka Egyptian brown) was a powder that was ground from real mummies during the medieval times sold in their apothecaries. Then during the 16th and 17th centuries this was used as part of artist’s oil and watercolor paint palettes. The color resembles a mix of burnt and raw umber tints. However during the 19th century when it became known where this pigment was derived, artist stopped using this grisly mix. Today this color is made with minerals pigments instead. May the mummies all rest in peace!
