ProTint Burnt Umber is a warm, dark brown tinting colorant. It's made with natural umber that has been "roasted" (calcined), which makes it richer and redder than raw umber.

What Burnt Umber is good for

Works in: water based coatings such as latex and acrylic paint, stain, plaster, stucco, and more. For oil bases use <a href="https://www.uspaintsupply.com/paint/cal-tint-universal-tinting-colorants/">Cal-Tint .
Bottle: 16oz squeeze bottle with a flip-top cap and dispensing nozzle
Safety: DANGER. Contains Crystalline Silica. May cause cancer and organ damage through prolonged or repeated exposure. Use with adequate ventilation and wear protective gloves and eye protection.

Browns like mocha or deep chocolate, in a medium or deep base.
Wood tones/faux grain alongside Burnt Sienna or Yellow Oxide.
Antiquing and aging glazes on furniture, cabinets, and props.
Darkening warm colors without bringing the gray look that black brings (dechromatization).

Burnt Umber or Raw Umber?

Burnt Umber is warm and slightly red while Raw Umber is cool and better for greige/taupe or aging that shouldn't look warm. For a lighter, redder brown, try Burnt Sienna.

About ProTint

ProTint is our own line of high-strength, water based colorants. It works in latex and acrylic paint, stains, plasters, stuccos, caulks, and more. Each 16oz squeeze bottle has a flip top nozzle for dispensing small amounts without a mess. We recommend weighing your mixes in grams so you can repeat them accurately later. Don't overload your paint/base. Bases always have a maximum tint load and begin to weaken or break. For oil-based paint or lacquer, use Cal-Tint II instead.
