Icles Ochre Italy is a rare and characterful natural mineral pigment made from finely milled and purified Italian earths. Its warm golden-beige tone sits between a classic yellow ochre and a light raw earth, giving it a soft, nuanced appearance with subtle mineral depth.
Naturally based on iron hydroxide and earth minerals, this traditional ochre offers excellent permanence, lightfastness, and workability. Its gentle tinting strength makes it especially suitable for layered finishes, natural patinas, harmonious colour blends, and restoration work.
