Palette Analysis

Values in Early Renaissance rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues deployed as the palette's primary energy. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. #66402C delivers the chromatic peak at only 6.7% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 63 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth.
