Palette Analysis
Values in Gerard David rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm hues command this palette; Gerard David favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The most saturated colour, #4E4021, is reserved to 8.1% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range spans 58 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. Gerard David's palette 5 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
