Umber Dark earthy brown - raw or burnt umber, a foundational old-master earth pigment.
Palette Analysis
Jan van Huysum 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. #713B25 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (8.4%). The value range of 53 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Jan van Huysum's complete body of work advances.
