Edward Hicks Palette 2
Muted Tawny

Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
Edward Hicks keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Warm hues command this palette; Edward Hicks favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The saturated accent, #5B7BD8, registers at 0.7% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. At 76 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. This is palette 2 of Edward Hicks's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
