Herrad of Landsberg Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Herrad of Landsberg works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. Herrad of Landsberg gives 56.2% of the composition to a single #E6CDA9 - a decisive chromatic anchor. The most saturated colour, #C16244, is reserved to 3.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 35 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 2 of Herrad of Landsberg's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
