Van Dyke brown, also known as Cassel earth or Cologne earth, is a dark brown color named after the painter Anthony van Dyck.

The color was first made from peat or soil, and has been applied as both watercolor and oil paints. Currently, the color is made from an asphalt-like black pigment combined with iron oxide. This replicates the color of the original iron oxide-rich earth found in Cassel and Cologne, Germany.

Van Dyke brown oil paint was frequently used in Bob Ross' TV show, The Joy of Painting, as a base color for trees, cabins, and basecoats.
