Palette Analysis
Albrecht Durer is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The most saturated colour, #9C7850, is reserved to 4.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 62 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 1 of Albrecht Durer's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
