Values in Francesco Maffei rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. Francesco Maffei gives 25.1% of the composition to a single #1F1B18 - a decisive chromatic anchor. The saturated accent, #8E633D, registers at 3.5% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 58 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. This is the light Francesco Maffei preferred, made measurable.
