Palette Analysis
Leonardo Alenza is low-key throughout, a quality associated with Tenebrous Bister - deep shadows dominate the composition. Leonardo Alenza tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #84602E functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (4.7%). The palette spans 49 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. The combination of low values, muted chroma, and compressed range is the signature of the Tonalist mode - painting as atmosphere. This is palette 2 of Leonardo Alenza's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
