Carlo De Notaris Palette 5

Palette Analysis

The palette of Carlo De Notaris sits in the lower register of the value scale - dense, contained, and weighted. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. A single dominant - #20201F at 49.8% - sets the character of the whole composition. The highest-chroma note - #785235 - appears at just 2.9%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 54 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. This tonal restraint is characteristic of the Carlo De Notaris approach: colour serves light, not the reverse. Palette 5 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Carlo De Notaris's complete body of work advances.
