Constantin Artachino Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Constantin Artachino is high in key: pale, luminous, and filled with optical air. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. 46.3% of the palette belongs to #D6DCDC, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. The most saturated colour, #B1A674, is reserved to 5.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 31 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. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Constantin Artachino's complete body of work advances.
