José Correia de Lima Master Palette

Palette Analysis

José Correia de Lima distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. José Correia de Lima gives 27.1% of the composition to a single #0C0C0A - a decisive chromatic anchor. #472007 delivers the chromatic peak at only 4.9% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 76 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. José Correia de Lima arrived at this balance through long practice; the palette carries the weight of that experience.
