Gino Severini occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm and cool tones are held in careful balance - neither family dominates, creating tension and resolution simultaneously. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #A73C22, is reserved to 2.8% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 60 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. Taken together, these qualities constitute Gino Severini's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
