Angelica Kauffman Master Palette

Palette Analysis

The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. #2C221C at 31.3% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. At 7.6%, #4F2719 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld.
