Laura Knight Master Palette
Penumbral Tawny

Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
Values in Laura Knight rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. Only 8.0% is devoted to #C9BC98, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. A value spread of 55 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is the light Laura Knight preferred, made measurable.
