Old rose (#C08081) is a mid-tone warm shade that appears across 2 master palettes in our corpus, most prominently in the work of Wu Daozi, and Hildegard of Bingen and the Tang Dynasty (618–907) tradition. Master painters paired it most often with Khaki (#C3B091), Bone (#E3DAC9), and Metallic Sunburst (#9C7C38).
