Claudio Coello Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Claudio Coello sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #775E36, is reserved to 6.9% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 45 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. In the context of Claudio Coello's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
