Palette Analysis
Diego Velazquez sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warm hues command this palette; Diego Velazquez favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Diego Velazquez gives 36.0% of the composition to a single #261C1D - a decisive chromatic anchor. Only 6.9% is devoted to #7C542F, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. At 56 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. This is palette 2 of Diego Velazquez's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
