Mid-key values give Giovanni da Milano its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Giovanni da Milano keeps warm and cool in parity, a balance that lends the work a perceptual shimmer. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The saturated accent, #29386C, registers at 5.1% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. Spanning 40 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. Palette 10 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Giovanni da Milano's complete body of work advances.
