Umber Dark earthy brown - raw or burnt umber, a foundational old-master earth pigment.
Palette Analysis
Janos Tornyai keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Janos Tornyai deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The highest-chroma note - #BB9041 - appears at just 2.3%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 50 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. This is palette 3 of Janos Tornyai's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
