Umber Dark earthy brown - raw or burnt umber, a foundational old-master earth pigment.
Palette Analysis
Jean-Honore Fragonard keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #7B4634 delivers the chromatic peak at only 8.5% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The value range spans 64 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. This is palette 9 of Jean-Honore Fragonard's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
