Bister Dark warm brown - a traditional ink and wash pigment made from wood soot.
Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give Bartholomeus Spranger its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The highest-chroma note - #955B35 - appears at just 6.4%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 57 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. This is palette 6 of Bartholomeus Spranger's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
