Palette Analysis

El Greco distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. El Greco orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The highest-chroma note - #AD6345 - appears at just 6.7%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. A value spread of 66 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. El Greco's palette 12 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
