Nicolas Poussin Palette 1
Muted Tawny
Muted Deliberately desaturated - chroma pulled toward gray, the restraint of tonal painting.
Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
Values in Nicolas Poussin rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Nicolas Poussin deploys as the palette's primary energy. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. #6C3625 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.6%). The full value range is 67 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Nicolas Poussin's complete body of work advances.
