The pigment in our Reddish-Brown Sinopia cursor has been used as a color for centuries, originally made from the soil of the town of Sinop in Turkey and widely used during Renaissance. Sinopia is a warm, earthy color that resembles the color of clay. It was often used in fresco painting, where the pigment was mixed with water and used to create outlines or underpaintings on a freshly prepared plaster surface. It remains an essential color for many artists who work in traditional painting techniques, such as fresco or egg tempera painting.
