Franz Defregger Palette 1

Palette Analysis

Franz Defregger distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. Franz Defregger gives 26.4% of the composition to a single #363630 - a decisive chromatic anchor. At 2.7%, #C39D7A carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The palette spans 54 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 1 of Franz Defregger's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
