Palette Analysis

Francisco Pacheco occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Francisco Pacheco deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. Only 4.0% is devoted to #B7693E, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The full value range is 68 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. In the context of Francisco Pacheco's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
