El Greco Palette 3

Palette Analysis

Values in El Greco rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm hues command this palette; El Greco favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. El Greco gives 28.1% of the composition to a single #141113 - a decisive chromatic anchor. The highest-chroma note - #9E403C - appears at just 3.7%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The value range spans 70 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. El Greco's palette 3 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
