Anton Raphael Mengs Palette 2

Palette Analysis

The highest-chroma note - #D3AC6F - appears at just 3.9%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The value range spans 62 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.
