Andrea Mantegna sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #834A28 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (9.8%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 66 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. Palette 10 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Andrea Mantegna's complete body of work advances.
