Gamboge Deep golden yellow - a traditional warm pigment, rich amber-gold.
Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give Francesco Melzi its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. A single dominant - #221E18 at 26.4% - sets the character of the whole composition. The saturated accent, #8C604B, registers at 6.9% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 67 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. Palette 4 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Francesco Melzi's complete body of work advances.
