Van Dyke brown, also known as Cassel earth or Cologne earth, is a dark brown color named after the painter Anthony van Dyck.
The color was originally made from peat or soil, and has been applied as both watercolor and oil paints.[2] Today, the pigment is made by combining asphalt-like black with iron oxide. This replicates the color of the original iron oxide-rich earth found in Cassel and Cologne, Germany.[3]
In popular culture
Television host Bob Ross frequently used Van Dyke brown oil paint on The Joy of Painting as a color for trees, cabins, and basecoats.[4]
