Palette Analysis

Carlo De Notaris sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Carlo De Notaris tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. A single dominant - #272C2F at 27.8% - sets the character of the whole composition. The most saturated colour, #714F37, is reserved to 5.1% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. Value range is moderate at 48 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Carlo De Notaris's complete body of work advances.
