Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
Hugo van der Goes keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. Only 8.0% is devoted to #7B5939, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. Spanning 50 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. In the context of Hugo van der Goes's full range of palettes, group 4 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
