Palette Analysis

Carl Larsson keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Warm hues command this palette; Carl Larsson favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The highest-chroma note - #59382A - appears at just 8.3%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The full value range is 59 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. In the context of Carl Larsson's full range of palettes, group 12 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
