Jean Béraud Palette 3
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 Jean Béraud its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Temperature is balanced: the palette pits warm earth against cool sky without declaring a winner. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. At 3.5%, #C55C44 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. A value spread of 68 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 3 of Jean Béraud's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
