CONT

La terre d'ombre naturelle est d'un brun plutôt foncé, un peu terne et cette teinte lui est donnée par un assez fort pourcentage de bioxyde de manganèse. [...] Si l'on calcine l'ombre naturelle, à 200 ° ou 300 °, celle-ci passe alors au brun chocolat foncé : c'est la terre d'ombre brûlée ou calcinée.
