Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
Values in John Everett Millais rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Temperature is balanced: the palette pits warm earth against cool sky without declaring a winner. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #C7A45B functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.7%). A value spread of 63 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 5 of John Everett Millais's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
