Muted Tawny

Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give George Romney its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Warm hues command this palette; George Romney favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Only 5.5% is devoted to #765B45, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. 54 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. This is palette 7 of George Romney's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
