Palette Analysis

Values in Edvard Munch rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. 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. The saturated accent, #CF9F55, registers at 6.6% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 59 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The palette is recognisably Edvard Munch's own: particular in its temperature, chroma, and the economy of its brightest note.
