Burnt sienna is an iron oxide pigment: a warm mid brown color. It is also a Crayola color.

Chemically, burnt sienna is formed by burning raw sienna (Terra di Sienna).

[edit] Popular culture

  • One of the main characters of the comic strip PvP is named Brent Sienna, after the pigment and/or the color. Brent is the art director for the fictional magazine PvP.
  • On the television show Family Guy, while trying to pick up girls in a bar Cleveland asks "How would you like to go Black then have to make a hard decision of whether or not to go back." To which the girl replies "I already went Burnt Sienna and never went back." She then leaves the bar with a giant talking crayon of said colour.
