El Greco sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. El Greco builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #2E2E2B claims 26.1% of the surface, functioning as the work's tonal foundation. #D9C19A functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.2%). The palette spans 52 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 8 sits within the larger chromatic argument that El Greco's complete body of work advances.
