Fra Angelico Palette 9

Gamboge Deep golden yellow - a traditional warm pigment, rich amber-gold.
Palette Analysis
The value structure of Fra Angelico is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Fra Angelico deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. At 7.0%, #C8AB7B carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. Spanning 53 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. This is palette 9 of Fra Angelico's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
