Antonello da Messina distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. 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. #AB4B3B functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.8%). The full value range is 69 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Antonello da Messina arrived at this balance through long practice; the palette carries the weight of that experience.
