Jose de Almada-Negreiros Palette 1

Palette Analysis

Light floods Jose de Almada-Negreiros; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Jose de Almada-Negreiros tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The dominant colour, #FCFCF3, takes 32.8% of the total area, establishing the overall mood before any other hue is introduced. The most saturated colour, #F9D68B, is reserved to 3.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range spans 63 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. 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 1 of Jose de Almada-Negreiros's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
