Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give Antonio Carneiro its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. Only 6.7% is devoted to #B6915F, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. 66 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. This is palette 3 of Antonio Carneiro's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
