Bister Dark warm brown - a traditional ink and wash pigment made from wood soot.
Palette Analysis
Henry Tonks occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm hues command this palette; Henry Tonks favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The highest-chroma note - #7D6146 - appears at just 10.8%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The palette spans 53 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. This is palette 6 of Henry Tonks's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
