Jacques-Louis David Palette 2
Muted Tawny
Muted Deliberately desaturated - chroma pulled toward gray, the restraint of tonal painting.
Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
The value structure of Jacques-Louis David is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The saturated accent, #CFB298, registers at 11.1% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 71 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. This is palette 2 of Jacques-Louis David's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
