Frederick Sandys Palette 1
Muted Tawny

Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
Frederick Sandys keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from Frederick Sandys carry the compositional weight. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. Only 5.2% is devoted to #BF8929, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. At 68 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. This is palette 1 of Frederick Sandys's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
