Palette Analysis
Alphonse Mucha occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warmth dominates - the palette of Alphonse Mucha leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Chroma is moderate: colours carry enough saturation to be read as colour, but the palette stops well short of garish intensity. #4D3623 delivers the chromatic peak at only 9.8% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The full value range is 61 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. In the context of Alphonse Mucha's full range of palettes, group 11 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
