Bister Dark warm brown - a traditional ink and wash pigment made from wood soot.
Palette Analysis
Gerard David distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Gerard David orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #623429 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.3%). A value spread of 66 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 3 of Gerard David's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
