Joaquín Sorolla Palette 13

Palette Analysis

Values in Joaquín Sorolla rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The dominant colour, #1F211E, takes 25.1% of the total area, establishing the overall mood before any other hue is introduced. #BE9663 delivers the chromatic peak at only 6.2% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 62 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 13 of Joaquín Sorolla's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
