Angelica Kauffman Palette 10

Palette Analysis

Angelica Kauffman occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #342A21 at 25.5% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. The highest-chroma note - #886A3D - appears at just 5.3%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. At 39 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. This is palette 10 of Angelica Kauffman's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
