Rublev Colour Ercolano Red is a semi- transparent deep orange red with warm undertones, medium grained, high tinting strength and brushes "long" in the direction of the brush stroke.

Ercolano Red is a fresh deep orange-red ocher crafted from a natural pigment- Red Earth Ocher that comes from quarries in Northern Italy.

Red iron oxide or ferric oxide is the principle coloring agent in red earths, such as Ercolano Red. This color is based on the natural mineral hematite associated with varying proportions of other minerals such as clay, chalk and silica. They differ from other Ochers in that they do not contain water. In other words, the iron to which they owe their color is iron oxide not hydrated iron oxide.
