Palette Analysis
Hans Holbein the Elder keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. Only 5.1% is devoted to #C29E6B, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. 54 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 5 of Hans Holbein the Elder's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
