Palette Analysis

Values in Johann Friedrich Overbeck rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm hues command this palette; Johann Friedrich Overbeck favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The saturated accent, #F2B065, registers at 4.5% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. A value spread of 69 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 2 of Johann Friedrich Overbeck's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
