Expressionism Palette 21

Palette Analysis

Expressionism occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Saturation is pushed to its limits; every colour declares itself at maximum chromatic intensity. The palette gives 35.6% of the composition to a single #E46734 - a decisive chromatic anchor. The most saturated colour, #D97D74, covers 1.2% of the surface: too much to call an accent, too strong to ignore. The value range of 53 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme.
