Palette Analysis

Armando Spadini keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #AC907D functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.7%). 40 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 4 of Armando Spadini's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
