Illustration Palette 7

Palette Analysis

illustration 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. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The dominant colour, #E8DDC4, takes 41.6% of the total area, establishing the overall mood before any other hue is introduced. The saturated accent, #A65A45, registers at 2.8% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. A value spread of 62 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
