Van Dyke brown, also known as Cassel earth or Cologne earth, is a dark brown color named after the painter Anthony van Dyck.

The color was first made from peat or soil, and has been applied as both watercolor and oil paints. [2] Currently, the color is made from an asphalt-like black pigment combined with iron oxide. This replicates the color of the original iron oxide-rich earth found in Cassel and Cologne, Germany. [3]

Van Dyke brown oil paint was frequently used in Bob Ross' TV show, The Joy of Painting, as a base color for trees, cabins, and basecoats.[4]
