James Tissot Palette 9
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
Mid-key values give James Tissot its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Warmth dominates - the palette of James Tissot leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #9A8660 delivers the chromatic peak at only 6.1% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. Spanning 45 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. This is palette 9 of James Tissot's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
