This hue traces its lineage back to prehistoric ochre and iron oxide pigments used in early cave paintings. During the Renaissance, artists utilized similar terracotta shades to create depth and warmth in drapery, often relying on natural earths from regions like Tuscany. In the late 19th century, the Arts and Crafts movement championed these organic, earth-derived tones as a rejection of industrial synthetics. The color served as a grounding element, connecting manufactured objects back to the physical landscape.
