The value structure of Juan Carreno de Miranda is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Juan Carreno de Miranda balances warm and cool with remarkable evenness, giving the composition its characteristic vibrancy. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Only 7.0% is devoted to #743A26, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The value range of 48 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. This is palette 3 of Juan Carreno de Miranda's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
