It's a very dark brown. If you're looking for oils go at an art crafts store and they usually have a good choice of brands. For enamels or acryls I don't remember I've seen a colour called with suc a name...

Model Master enamels (Testor) makes a burnt sienna (cat. # 2007). They also make a burnt umber (2005), raw sienna (2008) and raw umber (2006).

Burnt Sienna is a medium reddish brown. It's a standard color for all oil paint companies. I use it with white to get flesh tone. As MJ said, MM has it in their tinmting range. It's close to MM's Leather color as well.

If I were to recommend getting some oil colours ... burnt sienna would be one of them. The three I use the most are burnt sienna, burnt umber and black.
Burnt sienna is great for working into skin tones. Also I use it for simulating wood. Paint pioneer tool shafts a yellow colour first. When dry paint with burnt sienna oil and with a clean dry brush pull off most of it. Then with a sharpened tooth-pick, score lots of little lines. When this is dry it look like a perfect wood grain. Also pin washes of pure burnt sienna gives a nice rusty colour when dry.
It looks quite dark brown when wet, but dries a redder colour.
A good investment in my book.

The colors Burnt Siena, Raw Siean, Burnt Umber, Raw Umber, seem to be pretty universal. I've seen them in just about every medium out there, oils, acrylics, enamels, lacquers, even water colors.
