Federico Faruffini Palette 7

Palette Analysis

Federico Faruffini dwells firmly in the shadows, with no more than a whisper of light. Federico Faruffini builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. A single dominant - #1F1D19 at 35.5% - sets the character of the whole composition. #996E3F functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (1.5%). Spanning 54 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. The combination of low values, muted chroma, and compressed range is the signature of the Tonalist mode - painting as atmosphere. Palette 7 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Federico Faruffini's complete body of work advances.
