Lion (#DECC9C) is a light warm shade that appears across 18 master palettes in our corpus, most prominently in the work of Henryk Berlewi, Valdemar Irminger, and Henry Stacy-Marks and the Constructivism tradition. Master painters paired it most often with Eerie black (#1B1B1B), Bole (#79443B), and Bistre (#3D2B1F). The combination forms a soft, sunlit chord, built on closely related hues, reads as a unified warm palette, with a sharp light/dark contrast that lets the darker companions read as depth.
