Palette Analysis

"Ambiguous Figures (1 copper plate, 1 zinc plate, 1 rubber cloth...)" (1919) reads as a lit, mid-saturation balanced palette built around Blue and Amber. The body of the palette stays restrained while smaller hits of color do the work. A low-prevalence accent at #1E4A9E pulls the eye.
