Scandinavian red
At Falun, the yellow ochre is extracted from an old copper mine. Once burnt, it is used in the composition of natural paints that protect the pieces of wood of the houses (the ochre protects wood and prevents it from ageing). Most of the output is locally used. One can find the well-known Falun red all over Scandinavia covering almost every building.
