Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
Social Realism occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. At 8.1%, #907552 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. 67 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls.
