Raoul Dufy Master Palette
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
Raoul Dufy keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. Only 7.8% is devoted to #704632, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The value range of 53 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. The palette is recognisably Raoul Dufy's own: particular in its temperature, chroma, and the economy of its brightest note.
