Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
Values in William Blake rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. William Blake keeps warm and cool in parity, a balance that lends the work a perceptual shimmer. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The highest-chroma note - #B18B67 - appears at just 8.2%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. Spanning 49 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. Palette 9 sits within the larger chromatic argument that William Blake's complete body of work advances.
