El Greco Palette 5
Shadowed Sienna
Shadowed Low-key - values weighted toward shadow, the palette of dim interiors and overcast skies.
Sienna Warm red-brown earth - named after the Sienese pigment, a fundamental artist earth color.
Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give El Greco its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The saturated accent, #CAAF80, registers at 5.5% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The full value range is 72 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is palette 5 of El Greco's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
