Umber Dark earthy brown - raw or burnt umber, a foundational old-master earth pigment.
Palette Analysis
Pietro Longhi keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Warm hues command this palette; Pietro Longhi favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The most saturated colour, #A36C52, is reserved to 3.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 50 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. In the context of Pietro Longhi's full range of palettes, group 8 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
