Palette Analysis
Hieronymus Bosch distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. A single dominant - #211A19 at 38.4% - sets the character of the whole composition. The most saturated colour, #A84738, is reserved to 2.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. A value spread of 62 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 11 of Hieronymus Bosch's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
