Gustavo Obiols Delgado Palette 1

Palette Analysis

Gustavo Obiols Delgado works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. A single dominant - #E5E5E6 at 63.1% - sets the character of the whole composition. The most saturated colour, #66401B, is reserved to 4.5% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range spans 67 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Gustavo Obiols Delgado's complete body of work advances.
