Palette Analysis

Anton Graff sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. Only 2.2% is devoted to #D2B78B, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The value range spans 56 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 3 of Anton Graff's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
