A natural earth pigment containing clay and iron, usually yellow, brown, or reddish in color.
From Latin "ochra," from Greek "ōkhra" meaning "pale yellow," related to "ōkhros" (pale). It originally referred to the color before being used for the pigment itself.
Humans have used ochre as paint for tens of thousands of years, including in some of the world’s oldest cave art. When you see ochre, you’re looking at one of humanity’s original colors.
