Fra Angelico Palette 8
Muted Gamboge
Muted Deliberately desaturated - chroma pulled toward gray, the restraint of tonal painting.
Gamboge Deep golden yellow - a traditional warm pigment, rich amber-gold.
Palette Analysis
Fra Angelico sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warmth dominates - the palette of Fra Angelico leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. Only 7.7% is devoted to #D5B78A, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. A value spread of 61 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 8 of Fra Angelico's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
