Ironman verdict
6 recipes use Burnt umber, including Backstrap loom, Fang of Kayazu and Initiate's kaunake. Burnt umber is members-only. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 150 coins.
