Sepia is a rich, brown-grey color resembling the pigment of the same name, which is obtained from the ink sac of the common cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis). The word "sepia" comes from the Latin sepia, which in turn is derived from the Greek σηπία (sēpía), meaning "cuttlefish." In Hebrew, the word for sepia is סִפְיָה (sipyah). In French, it is known as sepia; in Spanish, it is sepia; in Italian, it is seppia; and in German, it is Sepia. Sepia ink has been used since ancient times for writing and drawing, and the color sepia is often associated with vintage photography, as it was commonly used in early photographic prints. The color sepia is also a popular choice in art and design, evoking a sense of nostalgia and warmth.
