Palette Analysis

Values in Caravaggio rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. At 26.1%, #151D18 functions less as a colour accent and more as a complete atmospheric environment. At 4.4%, #D8C89E carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The full value range is 68 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. In the context of Caravaggio's full range of palettes, group 6 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
