Sepia
is a rich brown pigment derived from the ink sac of the common
cuttlefish, and it is also the name of a dark brown-grey color.
Sepia
was commonly used as writing ink in classical times. In the last
quarter of the 18th century, Professor Jacob Seydelmann of
Dresden developed a process to extract and produce a more
concentrated form for use in watercolors and oil paints.
Sepia
is also favored in photography; the color can be obtained with a
gold toning bath. The reddishness we nostalgically associate with
sepia is actually the result of fading over time. Consequently,
sepia has become a very vaguely defined term.
