Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
Frederic Leighton keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from Frederic Leighton carry the compositional weight. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #895D54 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (10.0%). A value spread of 72 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. In the context of Frederic Leighton's full range of palettes, group 4 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
