Ferdinand Hodler Palette 13

Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
Values in Ferdinand Hodler rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #C9A98C, is reserved to 8.8% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. Spanning 48 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. This is palette 13 of Ferdinand Hodler's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
