Palette Analysis

El Greco distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. 31.3% of the palette belongs to #23201E, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. At 3.2%, #B8C38D carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. At 64 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. El Greco's palette 4 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
