Palette Analysis
Arnold Böcklin sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #88794F functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.8%). The full value range is 71 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is palette 4 of Arnold Böcklin's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
