Now I have found the colour on http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Colours
then there is raw sienna:
and burnt sienna
What I want to know if anyone (Mike? Hans?) has any Sienna dye from any source and if so how accurate is the colour? I wonder if perhaps Veniards had such a coloured dye in the past (cannot find a reference to it now and no local compaines either contemporary or historic ) and would assume that this bloke - R K Bragg - would have possibly used such or a similar dye as he was from England prior to coming to NZ in 1939 and prior to that worked for a number of companies including hookmakers Hutchinsons, tackle house Ogden Smiths, gun makers Cogswell and Harris and had as his clients, Skues, General Franco (who'd a thought he was a flyfisherman?) the Mountbattens, Lord Sainsbury and others. He is an important figure in New Zealand fly tying history and I want to get his stuff as accurate as possible....
