Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
The value structure of still life is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. At 4.7%, #C7A859 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The palette spans 54 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama.
