Light floods Andrea Mantegna; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. A restrained, mid-chroma palette: every hue is present and legible, but nothing shouts. At 2.6%, #401D0F carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. A value spread of 61 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. In the context of Andrea Mantegna's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
