Palette Analysis
Edvard Munch occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. At 3.4%, #DDB762 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. A value spread of 67 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 1 of Edvard Munch's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
