Fernand Leger Master Palette
Muted Tawny

Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
Values in Fernand Leger rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Fernand Leger orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The saturated accent, #6D3326, registers at 7.8% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. A value spread of 65 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Fernand Leger arrived at this balance through long practice; the palette carries the weight of that experience.
