History of saddle brown
Saddle brown is an olive to dark brown with silver undertones. It is also known as sable or dark brown sable.
Saddle brown was first created in 1829, when artists and scientists used black and olive tones to create the earthy look of saddle brown hair. At that time, it was a fashionable hair type, like chestnut or medium length hair with a slight wave to it.
Saddle hair was popularized in the 1830s by artist William-Henry Jackson, who used it in his portraits. He placed it on top of other colors, like apricot or almost white hair!
By the late 1800s and early 1900s, saddle brown hair was being replaced by burnt sienna and red oxide hairs, which have more of a burnished effect.
