Andrea Mantegna keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Warm hues command this palette; Andrea Mantegna favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #B45130 delivers the chromatic peak at only 4.7% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 66 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Taken together, these qualities constitute Andrea Mantegna's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
