Bister Dark warm brown - a traditional ink and wash pigment made from wood soot.
Palette Analysis
The value structure of Charles Gleyre is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from Charles Gleyre carry the compositional weight. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #5A3C22, is reserved to 7.5% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 75 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. This is palette 6 of Charles Gleyre's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
