Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
J. E. H. MacDonald occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. At 6.3%, #C78551 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. At 46 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. This is palette 7 of J. E. H. MacDonald's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
