Pigment used in Aboriginal art (5)

I believe the answer is:

ochre

(Other definitions for ochre that I've seen before include "Yellow-orange hue" , "Mineral pigment; chore (anag.)" , "What gives a yellow colour" , "Pale brownish-yellow colour or pigment" , "Yellow-orange pigment" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
