Antonello da Messina keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #31282B at 26.2% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. #E9B287 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.4%). 51 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. This is palette 3 of Antonello da Messina's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
