Your post reminded me I had meant to look up umbrage to check out it had migrated from shadow to resentment. I was surprised by its still meaning shadow and something like hint ( AHD).
Ceci n'est pas un seing.

An echo of a song or a hazy shade of winter?

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?

I spent a lot of my youth visiting all the galleries I could looking at paintings and trying to decipher the techniques and colours. I was fascinated by what could be achieved. I also had good art teachers at school.
