De Atramentis. Dr J Asks Rename My Ink & And Win Some

[inkstainedruth]

Hmmm. How about "Earth's Blood" or "Earth's Heart"? It's got that dark red tone I think of for blood, but it's also got this sort of warm earthiness to the color.

ETA: Oh, and when I think "sepia" I think of old sepia-toned photographs. So I did a quick Google search and found a website that talked about how (and why) sepia-toning was done on photos (most famously by Matthew Brady, who was, effectively, one of the world's first photo-journalists, taking pictures of Civil War battles and their aftermath); and here's a sepia-toned image from that site:

Iron Rust i would suggest

[boybacon]

Forest Mushroom. I've seen forest mushrooms in this color in late fall after a rain storm.

I was going to suggest "Baby poop", but thought better of it. Then, as I was out hiking in the hills, I ran into the perfect name - "RATTLESNAKE!" . Actually, rattlesnakes are beautiful and span the range of colors in De Atramentis Sepia. I think that "Rattlesnake" would be a great name!

It is harvest season here and the color reminds me of "Grape Skin" or more specially "Zin Skin"

Or "Kastanie" if we shall stick to German...

 

Sepia by the way... The area in the water below the boat is sepia to me.

That's how I understand vintage sepia. And it's ther color I really enjoy.

This color is a dead ringer for the darker, red-purple-brown wood found in the hearts of some trees. I'd call it Heartwood.

 

Heartwood Sound nice to me have to look the colour up in the internet

It is harvest sex on here and the color reminds me of "Grape Skin" or more specially "Zin Skin"

 

 

Zin Skin?

 

Do you may be have an example of that?

[Morbus Curiositas]

I really like the chocolate options - cherry chocolate (or chocolate cherry) or black forest cake or bavarian forest cake or devil's food cake all rather sum it up :-)

 

Cherry is nice and the colour is Fitting.

 

 

Bavarian Foerset cake is nice since Bavaria is in Germany

 

And inspired me for this

Unfortunately I'm not the owner of that photo...

 

Well... I don't speak German, but I know some words. Also, chestnut is kastanje in Swedish, so the difference to German isn't that big.

Zin Skin?

I will see if I can stop at one of the local wineries today and get a picture. I just need to catch it at the right time . When they first separate the grape skins from the juice after the first ferment it is a very similar color to your sample.

 

The color changes to a very different look when the skins dry and it becomes more of a dusty pink.
