[edit] merge from burnt sienna

I don't think there's enough to be said separately about the two to warrant separate articles. Enough of the description and images would be duplicated to make it not worth the effort. So they should be merged, and "burnt sienna" should just be one section of this article. --jacobolus (t) 18:45, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

I think that it should be kept as is. When I needed to jog my noodle on what burnt sienna paint looks like, I put in "burnt sienna." I haven't ever noticed a tube of acrylic sienna paint, and would not have thought to put it in. With proper disambiguation, this would become less of an issue (and I did learn more about the basis of the pigment because of the "merge" header), but why not give it its own section. It has its own color code, after all. Kencomer (talk) 04:49, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Burnt/Raw

If I'm not mistaken, the image descriptions for burnt and raw are switched around. I've always thought of raw as being lighter and more orangish, and burnt being darker and duller. Erp Erpington (talk) 22:22, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
