Filippino Lippi Palette 3

Palette Analysis

Filippino Lippi distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #18171B at 31.0% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. #DFCC94 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.9%). The value range spans 79 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 3 of Filippino Lippi's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
