Values in El Greco rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warmth dominates - the palette of El Greco leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The most saturated colour, #A45F47, is reserved to 8.1% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 58 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that El Greco's complete body of work advances.
