You really know your paints.
I put the sample links here because they show that these colors of the week are more a palet of (nice) different shades than fixed colors. Umber being the most distinctive one, a real pigment. ( the etymologies I have compared hesitate between shadow and Umbria. (the Dutch site chose for Umbria)
Was it called umber because it came from the Latin umbra/shadow or was it called umber because it was first found in Umbria and used for shadows in paintings?) Yes, where are the autumn gold ochres and raw sienna's? Tomorrow?
