Palette Analysis

Francesco del Cossa occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warmth dominates - the palette of Francesco del Cossa leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #B26B5A, is reserved to 3.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range of 54 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Francesco del Cossa's complete body of work advances.
