Baroque Palette 48

Palette Analysis

The palette of Baroque sits in the lower register of the value scale - dense, contained, and weighted. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. At 30.8%, #181110 functions less as a colour accent and more as a complete atmospheric environment. The most saturated colour, #A9471E, is reserved to 2.1% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 60 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This tonal restraint is characteristic of the Tonalist sensibility: colour serves light, not the reverse.
