Jusepe de Ribera occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Jusepe de Ribera deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Only 2.2% is devoted to #BC7C40, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The full value range is 70 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Taken together, these qualities constitute Jusepe de Ribera's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
