Bartolome Esteban Murillo Palette 13

Palette Analysis

Bartolome Esteban Murillo sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. 25.4% of the palette belongs to #19120E, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. At 7.4%, #3E1410 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. A value spread of 63 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 13 of Bartolome Esteban Murillo's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
