El Greco Palette 6
Shadowed Bister
Shadowed Low-key - values weighted toward shadow, the palette of dim interiors and overcast skies.
Bister Dark warm brown - a traditional ink and wash pigment made from wood soot.
Palette Analysis
El Greco distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #AB5543 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.3%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 65 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. El Greco's palette 6 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
