Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
François Gérard keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The saturated accent, #643220, registers at 6.5% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 64 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. François Gérard arrived at this balance through long practice; the palette carries the weight of that experience.
