Burnt Sienna (PBr7) and Terra Cotta (PR102) are two lovely earth oranges that I will compare from Da Vinci. I pictured them above with Indian Red (PR101) to demonstrate how they are much more similar to each other than to an earth red, and prove to myself that Terra Cotta is really an earth orange. Because its pigment number is similar to Indian Red’s and because other brands call PR102 “Light Red”, I keep wanting to lump it in as an earth red, but it’s really very orange. It therefore vies for the same palette slot as Burnt Sienna. So which of these two earth oranges do I want in my dream palette?
