Shadowed Tawny

Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
The value structure of Matthias Grünewald is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #883C39, is reserved to 2.7% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. A value spread of 66 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 7 of Matthias Grünewald's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
