Palette Analysis
The value structure of capriccio is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The dominant colour, #12120D, takes 26.1% of the total area, establishing the overall mood before any other hue is introduced. The highest-chroma note - #D0A052 - appears at just 1.9%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. A value spread of 68 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
