John William Waterhouse Palette 8
Penumbral Tawny

Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
The value structure of John William Waterhouse is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. 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. #B47B63 delivers the chromatic peak at only 5.5% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The value range of 50 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. This is palette 8 of John William Waterhouse's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
