Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
The value structure of Erik Henningsen is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Warm hues command this palette; Erik Henningsen favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The most saturated colour, #C5A989, is reserved to 12.5% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 66 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Erik Henningsen's complete body of work advances.
