Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
Values in self-portrait rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. Only 3.9% is devoted to #A66533, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The value range spans 63 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy.
